Uh Journals.
81AM SUES FOR PEACE.
LONDON, July SI —The Siamese legation In this city has received a dispatch from Bangkok stating in effect that the Siamese government, learning that Franco regarded its reply to the ultimatum as a refusal to grunt the French demands, and being most desirous of maintaining peace, has telegraphed instructions to the Siaineso minister at Paris to inform M. Develle, the French foreign minister, that Sium accepts the ultimatum in its entirety. The digpatch adds that the Siamese government hopes that the blockade will cease, that the diplomatic negotiations will be resumed, and that an early settlement of the troubles will be effected.
Slfiin Deulred Pence.
The cabinet council at which the decision to grant all demands of France's ultimatum was made was called at the royal palace Saturday morning. The king presided. His two brothers and all the ministers were present. After sitting several hours tho council approved the views of tho peace party. Instructions were then telegraphed to Prince Vadhana, Siamese minister in Paris, that tho government accepted tho ultimatum regardless of all reservations previously formulated.
France's Ultimatum.
The .substuneo of the ultimatum was as follows: 1. A recognition of the rights ot An&m and Cambodia on lilt: left, or eastern, bank of tho Mekonp river as far north as the twenty-third parallel of latitude. 2. The evacuation within a month of the forts held by the Siamese on the oast bank of the river. 3. Full satisfaction for various Siamese agrrcsslonR ajfiun.st French ships and French Hliilors on Hie Mcnum river. 4. Punishment of tlie culprits and provision for the pecuniary indemnity of the victims. 5. An indemnity of 2,000,000 francs for various damages sustained by French subjects. 0. The immediate deposit of 3,000,000 francs to guaranty the paymsnt of the fourth and nfth claims or the assignment of the taxes In certain districts in lieu of the deposit of 3,0u0,000 francs.
Tlio War Clouds l'ass Over. With the acceptance of the ultimatum by the Siamese government the war cloud in the east will of course pass over.
France Accepts.
PARIS. July 31.—The mooting of ministers to consider Siain's unreserved acceptance of France's ultimatum was held at the Elysec between 5 and 7 o'clock Sunday evening. President Carnot came from Marly-le-Roi to preside.
After deciding to acccpt Siam's concession of the French demands the ministers deferred further definite action until measures should have been taken to guarantee Slam's fulfillment of the French demands. They took steps, however, to inform M. Pavie, French minister resideut, now at Koh-Si-Chang, of Siam's acceptance of the ultimatum.
May Cause Trouble.
The conference of the ministers wai prolonged by a discussion of the steps which might be necessary in settling the boundary question between France and Great Britain. A certain amount of difficulty is expected to embarrass this part of the negotiations. Another cabinet meeting will be held on Tuesday. when an effort will be made to have all the ministers present.
All Powers to Consider.
BANGKOK, July81.—While thegovernment of Siam accepted without reservation Prance's ultimatum, it received previously the assurance that tho kingdom would not be dismembered until after the consideration by all powers concerned of France's demand for the territory between the 18th and 23d parallels.
Hlockado Still Maintained.
The blockade is still maintained by the Forfair, Lutin, Inconstant*,Comcte and Lion. The British warships Pallas and Swift remain at tho Menam bar, inside the blockade limits. The British warship Linnot and the Herman warship Wolf are at anchor in the river off Bangkok. The British government mail haa been allowed to pass but mercantile correspondence with Siamese linns has been cut off. An elfort is making, therefore, to render cfileient an overland postal service via Tavoy and Rangoon.
The French have seized the Siamese mail steamer Shantabom and the Hong Kong steamer Phra ('hula with 400 Chinese aboard her. The Phra Chula eventually was allowed to land her passengers and cargo here.
Views of the French ProRH. PAins. July 81.—The Figaro SAYS that England lias suffered a moral if not a material check. Iler inllttence in the far east is diminished to the extent that French influence is increased. The Estafctte thinks that Urcat Britain, a* well as Siam, built false hopes early in the dispute on the supposition that France would show hesitation and weakness.
The Echo do Paris and the Evenement insist upon the necessity of obtaining from Siam material guarantees of the fulfillment of France's demands. The former adds: "Siam yielded only because she sav- that England was indisposed to support her except by words."
The Dix-Neuvicme Siecle says: "The outcome of the affair is a check to British po'iey and a victory of Frenoli diplomacy. This is all the more signilieant.. because England persistently creuted difficulties for France."
British Comment*
LONDON, July 81.:—The Daily Graphic tnys editorially: "Sisun acted with undoubted wisdom. Hetucrn the upathy uAgJrrat IJritaln and the hoHtiltty of Franoe sh^nad no choice. On the surface it looks UH if Or'»at Britain received a CIM-CU to her prestige in only arranging eflectu* r.lly to safeguard British commercial Intercuts. Now a protoetorato over tho whole of Slam nc.-stot the Mekong is necessary to restore this

prestige. Anything short of this would bo a humiliating defeat for England." The Morning Post says editorially: "The Imbroglio cannot be regarded as abnllshed by the acceptance of the ultimatum. Jt seems merely to have entered a fresh stapc of development, Great Britain and possibly China being substituted for Siam In tho final settlement"
The Daily News understands that a meeting of the cabinet will be held today to consider the questions arising from tho Siamese difficulties. "Siam's acceptance of France's ultimatum, of course, haa done a good deal to diminish anxiety," says the News, "but it has by no meant settled the difficulty between Franca and this country.'*

D1EI) OF HKIt IN.JUHIKS.
CHICAGO, July 31.—A peculiar accident which resulted in the death of one woman and serious injury to three others occurred at the east end of tho Harrison street bridge Saturday afternoon. An open car approached the bridge at a good rate of speed. As the car struck the east end of the bridge the latter shook and swayed up and down for a moment The heavy, pointed hardwood tightening lever at the east end of the bridge fell from its fastenings and swung around dircctly against the right side of the car.
Impaled a Young l.ady.
Miss Nellie Riordan, of 14 Sclden street, sat near the right hand outer edge of a scat near the middle of the car, and tho pointed end of tho lever struck her in the groin, passed through her body, and made a hole in the back of the seat in which she was sitting. 1 lie lever extended 20 inches through the body of the woman, pinning her to the fragment of the scat left unbroken by tho fearful crash. The driver had by this time obtained control of his horses and brought the car to a stop. Witnesses of tho accident ran up and were horrified by the fearful sight presented by the impaled woman. Blood was pouring from the wound in her side and flowing on the floor of the car. A physician who was summoned from a house near by said the woman would bleed to death if the lever was withdrawn from her body. A saw was procured and the lever was sawed off two feet from Miss Riordan's body.
Died at tlie Hospital.
The woman with a portion of the lever still penetrating her body, was convoyed to the county hospital. The attending physician said she would probably bleed to death as soon as the piece of lever was removed. A priest and her friends were sent for, aud restoratives were applied. Miss Riordan regained consciousness and was told that she would 'probably soon die. She took a farewell of her friends after the priest had given her absolution. The hospital surgeons then removed the pie.ee of lever from her body, after which she sank rapidly and in a few minutes died from loss of blood.
Others Injured'
The flying splinters made by the bridge lever as it crashed through the seats of the car endangered many lives. Along, sharp splinter struck Miss Maggie Casey, Miss Annie Dexter and Mrs. Maggie Ashcroft. who were seriously injured but will probably recover.
An Arroht Mude.
John Stanton, an inventor of a device for holding bridges, was arrested and taken to the Harrison street station charged with causing tliea reidunt It is asserted that lie was preparing to try his device on the bridge and had left the lever in an unsafe position.
BEHRING SEA SETTLEMENT.
Arbitrators Decide That I't-lHglc Sealing Must lie Restricted. PARIS, July 81.—It is announced on reliable authority that the Belu-ing sea arbitrators will decide that pelagic sealing should be restricted so as to prevent the extinction of the fur seal species, but they will not give to Americans the full property rights in the herd which are claimed. The question of damages is. understood to be the one which is chiefly prolonging the labors of the arbitrators. This forecast of the result of the arbitration is substantially indorsed by those best qualified to know. Such a decision will avoid the complete turning down of either party to the dispute and in that respect doubtless would be very agreeable to both sides.
Robbers Make a lilg Haul.
WICHITA, Kan., July 31.—The Pacific Express company was robbed of $7,500 here Saturday night within one block of the business center of the city.

WHEAT TAKES A DROP.
The Cash Article Sold for AO Cents a Bushel In Chloaj on Saturday. CHICAGO, July 31.—Wheat sold lower Saturday than at any time in tho history of the Chicago board of trade. In 1858 it was quoted as low, but at that time the trade in wheat waa of little consequence in this city. Saturday September wheat sold down to 60X, a drop of nearly 8 cents from the closing price Friday. August wheat sold to 56 cents and December to 87%. Cash wheat sold around 50 cents, and was not wanted even at that figure. The demoralization seemed complete. But a rally was effected through some good buying by Armour it Co. and other prominent Arms, and there was also considerable speculative buying.
Aside from the stringency of the money market dealers declare there exists no particular reason why wheat Bhould be so low. The drouth is not yet entirely broken. While there is no lack of wheat In the country the prospects for tho future are only fuir.
