AN OMINOUS WAR-CLOUD.
Tie Mniile Between France ani Siam
Approaching; a Crisis,
Siam’s Obstinate Resistance Said to
Be Due to English Influence.
A special cablegram of Monday from
Paris says: M. Develle had a long
conference with the premier deputy
all day Sunday. Only at the last
minute was it decided to impart to the
press Siam’s reply Rnd the government’s
decision. It is stated that M. Develle
has notified Admiral Humann to pro
ceed at once to declare a blockade.
The Freneh government has not yet
notified the powers of the intention of
France to blockade the Menam river.
It is stated that M. Pavie, the French
minister to Siam, has been ordered to
leave Bangkok within twenty-four
hours time.
Advices from Bangkok aie to the ef
fect that M. Pavie, French Minister
Resident, handed France’s ultimatum
to Prince Devawongse, Siamese Minis
ter of Foreign affairs, on Friday. At
the same time he informed the Siam
ese government that in case France’s
demands should be resumed he w’ould
at once leave Bangkok to board the
gunboat Forfait. The blockade of the
Siamese coast, he added, w’ould be de
clared at once.
THE rOAVERS NOTIFIED.
The French government has notified
the powers that it intends to establish
a blockade of the Siamese coast, with
out prejudice to other measures that
may be taken with the object of secur
ing to France the guarantees to which
she is entitled. The French govern
ment will make arrangements with an
other government for the protection of
French subjects in Siam during the
absence from Bangkok of M. Pavie,
the French minister.
READY FOR A FIGHT.
The Bangkok correspondent of the
London Daily Ch ronicle telegraphs that
paper as follows:
“The Siamese war ships are anchor
ed one mile from the French, and are
crowded with men, ready for action.
Their intention is, in case the French
commence hostilities, to steam dow r n
and ram the French gunboats, attempt
ing to board them by force and attack
their crews with fixed bayonets.”
ATTACKED BY STRIKERS.
Desperate Conflict Between Miners in
Weir City, Kansas.
A special from Weir City, Kan., says:
The expected crisis has come in the
miners’ strike. Miners who are willing
to work quietly and peaceably have
been attacked by the strikers, and
blood has been shed. The feeling which
has been growing more and more bit
ter for several days culminated in a
fierce battle at Clement’s pit, twelve
miles south of the city, Thursday. All
day there was evidence of an approach
ing storm, and the feeling was uni
versal that serious trouble was at hand.
Over one hundred shots were fired,
and it is nothing short of a miracle
that nobody was killed. One man was
wounded in the forehead and in the
leg, a boy in the foot and one of the
women got a bullet through her arm.
None of the wounds are fatal, and it is
believed that none of them are dan
gerous. A number on both sides were
badly beaten up with clubs and club
bed guns. The wounded were quick
ly removed by their friends and their
names have not been learned.
Just before noon a band of 500 of
the strikers, headed by 100 women,
which had been marching to the va
rious strip pits, reached Clement’s
pits and sent in a committee to per
suade the working miners there to
quit. The miners refused to do this,
and when the committee reported the
entire body of marchers moved on the
workers to force them out. The strip
men were ready for them, and when
the trespass line was passed, they were
fired upon, and a general battle en
sued, iu which Winchester rifles, pis
tols and clubs were used.
As the result of the battle the men
in the strip were routed by the strik
ers and were forced to flee for their
lives, pursued by the how-ling mob,
which would have lynched them had
they been caught. The excitement
continues at a high pitch, and further
bloodshed now seems inevitable.
AINSWORTH INDICTED.
The Grand Jnry Places the Blame for
the Ford Theater Horror.
The grand jury at Washington,
Monday, found a true bill against
Colonel Frederick C. Ainsworth, chief
of record and pension division of the
war department; George W. Dant, a
contractor, who was employed to make
an excavation for an electric light
plant; William E. Covert, superinten
dent, and Francis Sasse, engineer of
the building, holding them responsi
ble for the Ford theater disaster of June
9th last, in which twenty-three per
sons lost their lives and a large num
ber of others were injured. It is un
derstood that the defendants will not
be arraigned for some days yet, as
their trial cannot take place before the
September term of the court. The
grand jury formally find that in the
manner described in the indictment
the accused did wilfully kill and slay
the persons whose deaths are under
investigation.
After the Lynchers.
A Memphis, Tenn., dispatch states
that the lynching of Lee Walker, the
rapist, and the subsequent burning of
the body and other attrocities, is
viewed with great indignation in that
city, and Sheriff McLendon is severe
ly criticised for his criminal lack of
firmness by the press and people.
Monday morning Judge Scruggs sus
pended the sheriff, pending an inves
tigation, and the coroner was placed
in charge of his office. The grand
jury has been called to meet in special
session, and a few bench warrants have
been issued for the arrest of the ring
leaders,
THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH.
Notes ot Her Progress ani Prosperity
Briefly Epitomized
And Important Happenings from Day
to Day Tersely Told.
The Citizens’ bank, of Jellico,Tenn.,
the only banking institution at that
place, failed to open for business Fri
day. No figures are known.
Atlanta’s new’ bridge, spanning the
railroads at Forsyth street, was open
ed to the public Saturday with appro
priate ceremonies. The structure is
a magnificent one costing over $140,-
000.
About 500 negroes were shipped
from Birmingham, Ala., Sunday night
to Leavenworth, Kas. It is proposed
to replace strikers with them. Agents
of the mine owners will endeavor to
procure 1,000 more negroes.
With a reward of $l5O outstanding
for his capture and with half the offi
cers in Georgia eagerly watching for
the sight of him, Harry Hill, the for
ger, rode into Atlanta on a sleeping
car Friday morning and gave him
self up to the sheriff.
The third anuual regiment of Ala
bama state troops with Colonel W. H.
Tinsdale in command, went into camps
at Oxford Lake near Anniston, Friday.
Eleven companies comprising about
four hundred men are in attendance.
The camp was named Camp Holtzclaw
in memory of Gen. J. T. Holtzclaw,
who died a few days ago.
A special from Bristol, Tenn., says:
The double tunnel on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad near Bigstone
Gap, Va., caved in completely Friday
afternoon. The tunnel is 600 feet
long and it is estimated that it will re
quire a week to clear it. All travel
for the W. & T. via the Clinch valley
division of the Norfolk and Western is
intercepted.
The Llano Improvement and Fur
niture company, of Llano, Texas, went
into the hands of a receiver Monday
upon the application of the North
Texas National bank, of Dallas. The
liabilities of the company amount to
SBO,OOO, and its assets $1,000,000.
The company is unable to raise money
due, and a receivership was thought
best to ease up its difficulties and tide
over the present hard times.
Henry Singleton, who murdered
Lula Payne in the penitentiary at
Jackson, Miss., a few’ days ago, has
been indicted for murder and will be
tried at the present term of court if
his condition will permit it. Single
ton is now serving a sentence for mur
der. His case will perhaps be the on
ly one on record where a life convict
has ever before been tried before
court for murder.
The great driving wheel of the
Memphis, Tenn., electric power ex
ploded into hundreds of pieces Fri
day, tearing up the building and kill
ing Engineer Pat McDermott instant
ly. The wheel w r as four feet across,
fifteen feet in diameter and weighed
2,700 pounds. It became wild from
some unknow’n cause, revolving at an
incredible rate, and before it could be
stopped the explosion resulted from
centrifugal force.
A Raleigh special of Friday says'!
The populists have arranged for a se
ries of speeches by General J. B. Wea
ver and Congressman Tom Watson in
North Carolina next month. Weaver
opens at Lilesville August sth ; Watson
at Aulander August 3d. The populists
are earnestly at work. They have
practically captured the alliance, it is
stated, nearly all delegates to the alli
ance state convention next month be
ing chosen from their ranks.
A Jackson, Miss., special says: The
case of the state revenue agent vs. the
Georgia Pacific railroad was adjusted
Saturday, after several days, consulta
tion. Under the adjustment the state
and several counties through which the
road passes receive, in taxation, $40,-
000 annually for ten years, ending in
1902; aggregating $440,000 for this
period. The road claimed exemption
from taxation, and, by yielding $70,-
000, the state made a certainty of over
$400,000, excluding municipal taxes.
James M. Dowling, cashier of the
local United States mint in New r Or
leans, w r as arrested Thursday after
noon, upon affidavits sw'orn to by W.
G. Forsyth, an operative in the secret
service of the government, charging
him with the embezzlement of $25,-
000. The accused was arraigned be
fore United States Commissioner
Wright and placed under SIO,OOO
bond. The arrest of Cashier Dowling
is the outgrow’th of a fire which took
place in the mint on June 24th.
The furnaces and other properties of
the Woodstock Iron Company at An
niston, Ala., w’ere sold Saturday at
clerk and master’s sale to John B.
Knox for the bondholders, at $400,000.
The company has been in the hands of
receivers for several months, and it is
understood that the purchase by the
bondholders means a general straight
ening out of the company. The prop
erty sold embraces four furnaces and
several thousand acres of iron ore
lands.
A Raleigh. N. C., special sovs: The
railway commission, on Saturday,com
pleted its assessment of railway prop
erty in North Carolina for the year
ending June 30th. It shows that there
are 2,571 miles of road, and that only
39 miles were built during the year,
though five new roads are under way.
The Richmond and Danville, has
1,128 miles, Atlanta Coast Line 715,
Sea Board Air Line 667. There are
71 roads. The total assessed value is
twenty-four million dollars.
The Kentucky National bank, at
Louisville, capital $1,000,000, sus
pended payment Saturday. There
was no excitement. It is thought the
bank will be able to resume business
in a short time. It has been carrying
an immense amount of paper, which,
although giltedged, could not be real
ized. The bank is the government
depository and in the statement of the
bank published July 19th, the govern
ment’s deposits are placed at $191,-
781.83, Deposits of United States
disbursing officer, $318,268.17.
The Louisville, Ky., City National
bank suspended payment at 1.20
o’clock Monday afternoon. The bank
has a capital of $400,000. Three
years ago W. H. Pope, its teller, fled
with over $70,000, and this was a hard
blow’ to the bank. Bank Examiner
Escott has been placed in charge.
Depositors will be paid in full. The
bank was chartered in 1865 and re
ehartered in 1885. It was pretty
generally known as Lerche’s bank.
Its individual deposits were over
$222,000, and on Monday its cash was
reduced to $14,000.
BUSINESS REVIEW.
Report of Trade For the Past Week ay
Dun & Co*
R. G. Dun & Cos. ’s weekly review of
trade says: During the past week the
country has stood surprisingly well an
extraordinary strain. The failure of
many banks and firms has come des
pite the relaxation in eastern and some
western money markets. Den
ver banks were overthrown largely by
the crazy unwisdom of the people, but
in most cases statements show the
banks in a healthy condition, and there
has been since noticed more readiness
to extend accommodation.
Under all conditions it is astonish
ing that business has been so well
maintained with so little evidence of
unsoundness. Even w’hile cotton and
woolen mills were working over time
on past orders, the scantiness of new
orders was noticed, with the great
frequency of cancellation. Close ob
servers say wholesale dealers find lees
encouragement to buy. In dry goods
cancellations are still numerous and
orders are small. Some improvement
is seen in dress goods. Sales of wool
are remarkablv small.
Wheat has fallen 2 cents; corn, 1
cent; pork products and oil are low’d’.
In place of the expected advance in
sugar a decline has come, and cotton,
after some advance, recedes again.
Receipts of wheat at the west are
moderate and exports fairly large, but
unprecedented stocks are pressed for
sale. The stock market closed last
week hopefully, but prices had reach
ep the lowest average since 1884. Lon
don and short sellers then bought and
some recovery has followed. At Phil
adelphia the banks are holding cur
rency and strengthening themselves.
An easier feeling prevails at Pitts
burg in iron. The Cincinnati money
market is easier, and Cleveland reports
the grocery trade as good, but iron
wholly inactive. Toronto notes a bet
ter feeling; Indianapolis, no improve
ment, but the banks in strong position
and doing a quiet business with the
outlook not vej’y cheerful. Chicago
reports 19 per cent decrease in
clearings, 25 in real estate sales, a
good demand for loans, but more
freedom in lending and better feeling.
Receipts of products are 45 per cent
larger for corn and 30 for w’ool,
but most of the other articles decreased
—7O per cent in wheat, 50 in dressed
beef and 28 in cattle. At Milwaukee
the closing of some manufacturers and
the reduction of wages in others and
the failure of the great iron syndicate
are noticted. At St. Paul trade is re
stricted. At Minneapolis lumber sales
are reduced and the sales of flour be
low the output. Omaha trade is good
and St. Joseph fair.
Receipts of cattle are light at Kan
sas City. Denver trade is demoral
ized, but noAv more hopeful and the
many reported assignments are re
garded as a measure of protection. St.
Louis reports business good in volume
and character, but trade is retarded
by closeness of money. Money is
tight at Little Rock, but the strain is
borne remarably well.
THE SOUTHERN MARKETS.
At Nashville trade is fair, at Atlan
ta backward, at Macon a better de
mand is seen, at Augusta retail trade
fair and Columbus business is a shade
better. New’ Orleans finds the trade
someAvhat improved, banks very con
servative, sugar weak and crop pros
pects excellent. At Galveston crop
reports are less encouraging, but at
Mobile better. At Jacksonville cred
its are cautious and at Charleston crop
prospects are poor. The treasury has
been paying gold to the banks, In.'ii
on the whole increasing its holdings.
Exports of products are a little larger
than a year ago, but import sales are
large.
The failures during the past w r eek
number 467 in the United States,
against 168 last year, and tw’enty-fh’e
in Canada, against nineteen, tAvo fail
ures being of capital exceeding $500,-
000 and 101 others capital exceeding
$5,000 each. Last week the failures
in the United States numbered 374.
A BIG MORTGAGE
Amounting to $14,500,000 to Be Fore
closed Against the Georgia Pacific.
Judge Henry B. Tompkins, as attor
ney for tho Central Trust company of
New York, filed a bill in the United
States court at Atlanta, Ga., Thurs
day to foreclose a mortgage of $14,-
500,000 against the Georgia Pacific
Railroad company. This is for the
foreclosure of the issue of second mort
gage bonds and does not affect the
first mortgage bonds on the Georgia
Pacific. *
Similar bills will be filed in the
United States circuit court at Bir
mingham and at Aberdeen, Miss., un
der the same foreclosure proceedings.
The object of this foreclosure under
the second mortgage bonds is to wipe
out everything but the first mortgage
bonds, so that the Georgia Pacific can
be put in the reorganization with all
the property of the Richmond and
Danville now being carried out by
Drexel, Morgan & Cos., of New York.
" A NEwTaNK
With $500,000 Capital Opened in New
York by AVells, Fargo & Cos.
An Albany, N. Y., special says: Su
perintendent Preston, of the state
banking department, Thursday issued a
certificate of authorization to Wells,
Fargo & Cos. ’s bank to transact a dis
count and deposit business in New
York city. The capital stock is $500,-
000, divided into SIOO a share. The
capital stock is paid in cash. The
bank, besides starting with $500,000
paid in capital, has a surplus of $500,-
000, each share of stock having been
sold to the subscribers at S2OO. The
Wells-Fargo Express Company already
have a bank at San Francisco and one
at Salt Lake City.

MarriatJ) Maxims.
Never taunt with a past mistake.
Never allow a request to be repeated.
Never both be angry at the same
time.
Never meet without a loving wel
come.
Let self-denial be the daily aim and
practice of each.
Never talk at one another, either in
company or when alone.
Never let the sun go down upon any
anger or grievance.
Neglect the whole world beside rather
than one another.
Let each one strive to yield often
most to the wishes of .the other.
Never make a remark at the expense
of the other—it is meanness.
Never part for a day without loving
words to think of during absence.
Never find fault unless it is perfectly
certain that a fault has been commit
ted, and always speak lovingly.
The very nearest approach to domes
tic happiness on earth is the cultiva
tion on both sides of absolute unself
ishness.
Never let any fault you have commit
ted go by unless you have frankly con
fessed it and asked forgiveness.
What Becomes of Ciohl and Silver,
Between 1859 and 1889, 30 years, or
less than half one lifetime, India has
absorbed £117,000,000 in gold and
£227,000,000 in silver, or £344,000,000
in all. What has become of the silver
we do not exactly know, though it is
certain that a. great proportion of it is
hoarded as fixed and valuable wealth,
but about the destination of the gold
there is no doubt whatever. The peo
ple have got the whole of it in their
own hands, for it is not in circulation,
and are using it either in ornaments,
kept, be it observed, to pawn in ex
tremity, or as hoarded treasure in coin,
such as lies under almost every peas
ant’s floor in the Punjab and eastern
Bengal.
India is a treasure house of gold,
yet a man may live 50 years in the
British provinces and never see an
ounce. —London Spectator.
A Popular Fallacy.
Vegetarians say it is a popular fallacy
that meat is needed for strength.
One prominent exponent of the faith
says it is a fact that the strongest ani
imals in the world are vegetarian and
not carnivorous. It is the ferocity of
the lion rather than hie strength that
makes him formidable. An elephant
is a match for several lions, and is a
vegetarian. The animals with most
speed and endurance —the horse, the
reindeer, the antelope and others—are
also vegetarians. Dog trainers, says
this authority, always feed their
trick animals on a strictly vegetarian
diet, and many hunters do the same
thing.
Not Quite Mad.

Witness—“ Only in a business way.
I was clerk in a large store at which
the lady did much Of her shopping.”
Lawyer— * ‘Did you in that capacity

Jails in Two Countries.
There are, we are told,in the United
States 1,758 county jails and only 44
juvenile reformatories. Great Britain,
on the other hand, supports over 400
reformatories and industrial schools
and has in consequence been able to
close 58 out of 113 prisons and jails
within 10 years.

I have had for years a humor in my blood,
wl ich made me dread to shave, as small boils or
pimples would be cut, thus causing the shavingto
be a great annoyance. After taking three bottles
flfjgggga my face t3 all clear and smooth as it
should be—appetite splendid, sleep

Snakes as Articles of Diet.
Italians, as is well known, are par
tial to harmless snakes and have no
objections to eat them when cooked.
A fritura composed of the common
wood serpent’s flesh is even regarded
as a dainty by the lower orders in
Borne, Florence and Naples and is of
ten served up to them in their dingy
restaurants. Parisians of the inferior
classes are also great eaters of fried
snakes, but unwittingly so, for the
reptiles are palmed oft' on them as eels.
Thus the apparently appetizing dishes
known as matelotte d’unguille and an
guille ala tartare are often in low eat
ing houses nothing but harmless
snakes caught in the wilder part of the
Vincennes wood and brought up to a
special market near the Place de la
Republique. It is probable, however,
that even if the members of the poorer
classes here who occasionally indulge
in fried or stewed eels were apprised
of the fraud practiced at their expense
they would evince no loathing nor
even lack of appetite, seeing that they
are ready to devour not only horse
flesh, but meat of mule, donkey and
dog any day in the week. Paris Cor.

He —“My dear, I’m a little short of
money. Could you let me have twenty
thousand of your million for a few
days?”
She—“l have no million dollars.”
He—“ Before we were married you
said you were worth a million.”
She—“ Why you often told me I was
worth my weight in gold, and I
thought 142 pounds was worth a mil
lion ; that’s all.”

You can Economize
By using Royal Baking Powder to the exclusion
of all other leavening agents. The official ana
lysts report it to be 27% greater in leavening
strength than the other powders. It has three
times the leavening strength of many of the
cheap alum powders.
It never fails to make good bread, biscuit and
cake, so that there is no flour, eggs or butter spoiled
and wasted in heavy, sour and uneatable food.
Do dealers attempt, because times are dull,
to work off old stock, or low grade brands of
baking powder? Decline to buy them. During
these times all desire to be economical, and
Royal is the most
Economical Baking Powder.
