There has not been a single fatal case of sunstroke, nor even one of prostration from the effects of the heat, although the thermometer has been soaring up in the nineties and over for the past few day.s. This peculiar but happy coincidence can only be accounted for by offers of the exposition medical bureau by the fact that the proximity of Jackson park to the lake affords a cooling breeze to thc tired and exhausted visitors, saving them from sunstroke and prostration from heat.

which she has been concealing her real feelings aboutthu Franco-Siamese complications, She is rapidly making ready to put herself across the pathway of triumphant France. She has

found a pretext for interfering, and

she is making all preparations to balk

her neighbor across the channel with something far more serious than vague

protests and threats.

Ihe foreign office has appreciated

from the first that the situation in Slum might become aggravated at any moment, and notwithstanding her pretense of indifference, England has not

been idle. To-day matters came to such a point that concealment was no longer possible. A blockade of Siam's coast means nothing to Slam, but

it means ruin to the large and growing commerce of Englund with Siam. Ity the blockade England is attacked, not Slam. Germany also is attacked, because her commerce with

Siam is second only to Itritain s. Hut England n the chief sufferer. The reply of Sir Edward Grey to a query about the blocka'le in the house of commons this evening was only an official indication of the approaching crisis. What Will the Next Move lie. London, July 21. It would require second sight to forecast twenty-four hours in ndvanee what the next move will be in the exceedingly complicated game of war France is playing in Slam. All this week she had been announcing that the blockade of Slam's coast would Iks effective next Saturday or Sunday. This morning's Paris papers, with a show of oflleinl authority, positively stated that the blockade would begin yesterday (Friday), and coupled with that assertion was the equally startling one that 1,500 of the troops forming the foreign legion have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to depart for Siam. On top of this came the news from Itangkok yesterday in the shape of n cablegram from Capt Jones, of the llritish navy, that the blockade was in effect as long ago as last Wednesday, July" Ü0. This official investigation proved to be a fact On the face of these conflicting reports it is harfl to determine just what France will do, if anything. Thc llritish admiralty office is highly indignant over the matter, and it sent yesterday a very sharp interrogatory to the French government demanding an explanation of these discrepancies. Very cheerful news to the friends of Siam is that which emanated from

Paris last night, namely: lhat the

French ministers, President Cnrnot

among tiiem, are at loggerneans respecting the poliey to be pursued by
