LOWERED THE FLAG. Bangkok, July 25.—M. i’avie, French minister resident, has lowered the flag over his office and has notified the Siamese government that he will leave the city to go aboard the French warship Inconstante on Wednesday. He has requested the government to provide pilots to conduct the Lutin and Comete down the river. French subieets in Bangkok will be placed under the protection of the Dutch consul. WILL BLOCKADE THE COAST. Paris, July 25.—The government has notified the powers that it intended to establish a blockade of the Siamese coast, without prejudice to the other measures that may be taken with the object of seour ng to France the guarantees to which she is entitled. Tli# French government is making arrangements with another government for the protection of French subjects in Siam during the absence from Bangkok of M. I’avie, the French minister, who has been ordered to leave Bangkok in twenty-four hours. MILITARY OPERATIONS. Besides the blockade military operations will be opened shortly. The details of these operations are still undetermined. They will be settled at a cabinet council within a day or two. Steps will be taken in Indochina toward serious action immediately after the arrival of the battalion of the foreign legion. The second portion of this battalion lias sailed from Marseilles. The native militia will be reorganized, and together with the imported companies of the foreign legion will cooperate with the force already in active service in the Khong district. COMMENT IN FRANCE. Paris, July 25.—The Liberte says that the French gunboats probably will go down t ■ • river, shell and destroy the Paknam forts and then return to their positions before Bangkok and bombard the palace. Some painful measure is necessary, adds this journal, for the preservation of France's prestige. The majority of the Paris newspapers devote as much space to denunciation of England as to the matter at issue between France and Siam. England is reproached by them with supporting the Siamese in their opposition to France's just demands, and with planning to give the Siamese secret aid when hostilities begin. ANXIETY IN LONDON. London. July 25. — The FrancoStamese complications have been the one absorbing topic in the lobbies of the house of commons. The situation is regarded with apprehension by all parties, and the last news from Bangkok and Paris is read with as much anxiety as eagerness. On all sides regret is expressed that the British warships in Siamese waters were not reenforced a month ago, as the British interests in Siam outnumbered the French a hundred to one. FRANCE HESITATES. Paris, July 36.—The ministry is now in a quandary. It was not contemplated that Siam would resist, and the cabinet hesitates to incur the odium of bloodshed. According to international laws neutral powers are not bound to recognize a blockade except between belligerents, and the French constitution provides that war cannot be declared without the consent of parliament. The situation is one of the greatest difficulty and only success can justify the policy which M. Develle has adopted. Should he fail the country, already smarting under the long tale of colonial failures, will visit him and his cabinet with the heaviest penalties. President Carnot's absence from tne capital ai such a critical moment has revived the rumors of his serious illness.

Perkins for the Senate. Sacramento, Cal., July 24.—Gov. Markham has appointed George C. Perkins to succeed Lciand Stanford in | the United States senate. The apl pointmeut was a surprise, as it was exj pected the honor would be given to M : H. de Young, M. M. Estce or Irwin Stump. Perkins is an ex-governor of ! California and has filled state offices.

LOWEST PRICE YET. The Government Makes Silver Purchases at 09.G. Washington, July 25.—Acting Director of the Mint Preston purchased .07,500 ounces of silver Monday at 69.6. This is the lowest price yet paid for silver in the history of the government purchases. There were seven bidders offering in tha aggregate 286,000 ounces at from 69.7 to 70.5. The offers were declined by the acting director of the mint and counter propositions of 69.6 made. Two of the bidders accepted the government's offer ami let go 40,000 ounces more at the same figure. HELD FOR TRIAL. Colonel Ainsworth and Others Indicted for the Ford’s Theater Disaster. Washington, July 25.—The grand jury found a true bill against Col. F. C. Ainsworth, chief of the record and pension division of the war department; George W. Dant, the contractor employed to make the excavation for the electric light plant; William E. Covert, superintendent, and Francis Sasse, engineerof the building, holding them responsible for the old Ford's theater disaster of June 9 last in which twenty-three persons lost their lives and a large number was injured. THOUSANDS ARE IDLE. Hundred* of Unemployed Miner* and Kailroad Men Arrive at St. Paul Daily. St. Paul, Minn., July 24.—It is estimated that 3,000 to 4,000 idle men are here and hundreds more are arriving daily. Many are from railroads and min ing regions. Many are well educated persons. The few Michigan mines still running intend lowering wages greatly. The men say they will then quit. This will add from 5,000 to 6,000 more unemployed to the 4,000 in Michigan who have already quit. Pioneer Preacher Panses Away, Beloit, Wis., Jan. 26.—Rev. Jeremiah Porter, aged 89 years, a noted pioneer preacher of the west, died at noon Tuesday at his home in this city. He was a member of the Congregational denomination, and in 1831 he organized the first church at Mackinaw. He went to Chicago in 1883 and preached at old Fort Dearborn, his sermon being said tobe the first ever preached in Chicago. There were less than 300 persons at that time in Chicago. Big; Storage Hnuite Burned. Columbus, O., July 25. —The tOhio Transfer & Storage company, J. P. Price, Cleveland, president, located near the Union station, burned Monday night, entailing a loss of $300,000. The building, which was a total loss, was valued at $30,000 and the storage at $270,000. The storage consisted principally of agricultural implements be longing to Richmond, Ind., Springfield and Dayton (O.) firms. Express Office Kohbed. Cleveland, O., July 25.—The office of the United States express company at 1’errysville, O., was entered by burglars Sunday night, and about $2,500 of express funds taken. There is no clew.

The Government Chemists, after having analyzed all the principal brands of baking; powder in the market, in their reports placed the “Royal" at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness ; and thousands of tests all over the country have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities

are, in every respect; unrivaled.

Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than'the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and

render the food unwholesome.
