MAY FIGHT^FOR SILVER.
Southern Senator. To He Called On to
Pay For the Defeat of the Force Hill.
Washington, D. C„ July 23.Southern
congressmen who mere most Interested .
in_defeatlng the passage of the force
bill, it Is reported, may aid their West
ern colleagues in opposing tho uncondi
tional repeal of the Sherman silver bill.
This state of affairs Is reported to have
been brought about by correspondence
between tho Western silver senators
and several Southern senators.
It is said that at tho time the force
bill was before the senate the Western
Bllver senaors bolted their party cau
cus to aid their Southern, friends, and
resisted to tho bitter end all efforts to
"whip them Into line;’’ that it was
through their efforts, united with those
of the solid Democratic minority, led
by Senator Gorman, that the fight
against the force bill was successful
and that much diplomacy was necessa
ry to gather.sufficient strength from
tho Republicans to defeat the force bill.
It Is cited that the very Republican
senators from tho West who helped to
defeat the force bill are now most In
terested In continuing the use of silver
as money and are ' calling upon the
Southern senators to help them to pre
vent action which they believe will
prov* to be a calamity to the business
Interests of their states. A Southern
senator friendly to silver said today
that he felt very much like going to
the aid of his fellow-senators In the
West on the principle that "one good
turn deserves another.”
By so doing, he added, he could re
pay the obligation that he and his peo
ple felt was due those who aided to
defeat the "cursed force bill.”
CALIFORNIANS
Are A reused and Pass Strong Silver
Resolutions.
San Francisco, July 23.—A mass meet
ing in the cause of stiver was held hare
last night. There was a large attend
ance. A series of resolutions were
adopted In which the "secret demone
tization of silver in 1873" is denounced
as a “crime which can never be expla?
ted, except in its complete rehabilita
tion.’’
Among the resolutions adopted were
the following:
"Resolved. That it is the duty <of all
senators and congressmen ot California,
in the matter of silver as in all other
matters, to regard the will and iner-
ess of their constituents and of the
K , rather than the wishes of party
■ and the president, and that
these representatives of this stats
should so serve the public regardless
of patronage, party strength and offi
cial advancement.
"Resolved, That congress is earnest
ly requested to arrange for a meeting
ot a pan-American congress so that
silver coin may become a common legal
tender between the United 8tatea and
the republic of Mxico and Central and
South America."

JOSEPH JEFFERSON ILL.
Tlta Veteran Actor Said to II* SntTerlng
From a Cancerous Affection.
New York, July 23.—The press this
morning says Joseph Jefferson, the vet
eran actor, is near death, and cancer
ous affection ot the neck ia the causa
ot It.
Jefferson’s physicians have been so
far steadily baffled by his disea sc,which
Is attributed partly to inherited tenden
cy and partly to carelessness in the
treatment of a boll that appeared near
his cervical verterbrae some time ago.
Much mystery is shown about the
malady, which renders a diagnosis al
most impossible to obtain.
Curiously enough the secret nearly
leaked out a week ago and through a
misunderstanding. The comedian's
warm friend. President Cleveland, waa
credited with the cancerous trouble in
stead of Jefferson. Of course skillful
physicians may stave off the worst for
some time to coroe, but It can be stated
positively that radical measures roust
speedily be resorted to if America^
greatest comedian Is not soon to go the
way of Edwin Booth.

the time that his attention is not given
to the preparation of his message, he
will pursue his favorite pastime. (

Paris, July 23.—Slam’s reply was
handed to M. Tavle, tho French min
ister resident at Bangkok at 2 o'clock
Saturday- afternoon. The forty-eight
hours allowed by France as the ulti
matum for a reply had not then ex
pired.
-The tail of the communication is as
follows:
M. Le Mlnstre: In reply to the com
munication which, by order of your
government, you handed to me on
Thursday, July 20, at 8:45 in the even
ing, his majesty, the king, my august
sovereign, charges me to make to you
the following declarations: Ills maj
esty regrets that no precise definition
ever has been given him of what his
majesty is to understand by the ex
pression ’Rights of the empire of An-
nam and of the kingdom ot Cambodia
on the left bank of the Mekong river
and on the islands of Mekong river.’
His majesty has been ever ready to
abandon all territories over which ex
istence of these rights should have
been proved, and five months ago bis
majesty proposed to submit all con
tested points to the International ar
bitration. Now be submits to the
pressure of circumstances In order to
restore ncice to.hls people and oecnr-
ity to th* numerous commercial Inter
ests at stake in this country. His maj
esty ther l irc ronsenis to a delimita
tion of th frontiers between Slam and
Oamhodu
All tmi'.ory on the left bank of the
Mekong Tver south of a line drawn I
from the in^st northerly of the Siam
's* military roosts recently, occupied by
*ue I’ran.u-Zcr-.-nit* troop., to nnothrr
point situated in the same latitude,
that B, on the 18 degree north lati
tude, will be regarded a. Annamlte and
Campodlan territory, the river below
thp point Indicated becoming the line
of division between the neighboring
states as far as the point at which tho
river enters the Campodlsn territory,
and the use of the islands in tho river
being common to the three contermin
ous state*. Tho two Siamese military
posts now existing in the above de
scribed territory will be vacated within
a month. Ills majesty deplores sin
cerely th* losses experienced by both
sides in connection with the Kcng Kien
and Khamon incidents a. well as the
regrettable collision at the mouth of
tho Menam river.
The Bangblon will be ‘liberated and
other satisfaction demanded will, if
necessary, be given, to far as Is com
patible with ordinary Justice and the
Independence of the Siamese govern
ment. which th* French government
his declared its desire to respect. Four
persona found guilty of act* of general
aggression, contrary to International
law against French subjects, will be
punished, and where necessary com
pensation in money will be mado to the
relative* of the victims. Long notes
were exchanged by us five times on
the subject of certain claims made by
French subjects on account of the dam
age alleged to have been suffered by
them owing to the action of the Siam
ese officials. These allegations are con
tested. however, by the Utter. The
king, guided by the same considera
tions as those actuating the foregoing
decisions, agrees not to insist on the
question and to hand over to the gov
ernment of the French republic the
sum of 2.000,040 francs for the benefit
of those who suffered the above men
tioned losses. The Siamese govern
ment proposes, without, however, mak
ing it conditional, the appointment of
a mixed commission to Inquire Into the
queetioo of damages and the amount
of money indemnities mentioned in
paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of the French
government's demand.
The Siamese government win imme
diately dep dt 3.000.000 francs to cover
the amount of indemnifications enu
merated above, the deposit to be made
■imultaileou.iy with the exchange of
notes by the two governments. Ilia
majesty, having reason to believe that
after proper inquiry the sum of 3,000,000
trance will be found to exceed tne
amount ot indrinniiP.'s claimable, retie*
on tba Justice of the French govern
ment for the n-funu.ng of such baUn?o
as shall remain available after the Set
tlement of the different cos«a
The Siamese government' is confident
that In SOCeding tu Urn demands of the
French government in the manner
shown by th* foregoing declarations, it
ha? given proof of us s.ncere desire to
maintain good relations with the
French republic and settle in the most
' cun,[I an.l dennlte manner all ques
tion. pending between the two guv-

Siamese minister of foreign affair?.

arc conducting a vigorous campaign in
| favor of the government's full demand
and arc warning Great Britain ngninst
any interference in the present com
plications.
Dispatches from Bangkok this even
ing say that the territorial demands of
Franco arc regarded there as very
vague.
The Siamese, although intensely ox-
cited, are displaying great self control.
The "Incoustante," which, of all the
French gunboats in Siamese waters has
the greatest draught, will be able to
pass the harbor easily before July 27,
when tho Monsoon will lncreaso tho
depth of the water. At midnight it is
stated that Siam's reply to- Franco’s
ultimatum is considered unsatisfactory.
M. Pavie will probably leave Bangkok
Wednesday to go aboard the cruiser
Forfeit. The refusal of M. Devour, the
French minister of foreign affairs, to
givo Slam an extension of time for her
reply to the ultimatum is ascribed to
his desire to force Siam’s hand and to
prevent her negotiating for Britleh
support.
Doth Sides Prepared For lYsr*
London, Juiy 23.—The Bangkok corre
spondent of the Times says:
"On Saturday the French gunboats
were fixing chain armor amidships.
Tho Siamese vessels were also prepar
ing for action. All have steam up.
The French legation professes to be
lieve that the gunboats cannot cross
tho bar until high tide on Wednesday,
which would leave time to complete
the amicable settlement. The territory
which Siam offers to sacrifice fully
covers the extreme point of the re
cently attempted French aggression.
This Involves the evacuation ot the
Sltm posts ot Foowadone, Altopen and
Sumpang. On the river Itself the
French have been unable in four
months to place a single station ex
cepting Khong, and that was obtained
by a surprise.

About 2 o’clock in the afternoon the
doctor grew sufficiently weary ot his
shadow to make Inquiries of Justice
Bloodworth concerning the wording of
tho bond required of him. He retired
with the justice into the latter’s back
office and read over the document. Then
he signified his willingness to make tho
