FRANCE WANTS WAR.

*ha Metifiaa th. Power* of Her Intention to Blockade the Porta of Slam—Her Minister Leaves Bangkok—The Feeling in England. * Bangkok, July 25.—M. Pavie, 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 subjects in Bangkok will be placed under the protection of the Dutch consul 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 securing to France the guarantees to which she is entitled. The Liberte newspaper says that France will watch and hold Battambang and Angkora as guarantees that her demands will be satisfied. The Temps says that the beginning of the blockade will be deferred until Thursday or Friday to. enable France to take steps prescribed by international law.

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. j Steps will be taken in Indoi China toward serious action imj mediately after the arrival of the battalion of the foreign legion. The second portion of this battalion has sailed from Marseilles. The native i militia will be reorganized, and together with the imported companies of the foreign legion will cooperate with , i the force already in active service in the’ Khong district. Paris, July 25. —The Liberte says I that the French gunboats probably . ' will go down the river, shell and de- ; I stroy the Paknam forts and then ; return to their positions before Bang- j I kok and bombard the palace. Some painful measure is necessary, adds this ' ’journal, for the preservation of j France’s prestige. The Debats says that Siam, as a rice producing country, probably does not fear greatly the blockade. As for the ; operations on land the Debats thinks 1 the Siamese will be provided surrep- j titiously by England with all the arms they need.

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. The Siamese minister in this city has not yet received his passport from the French government. Immediately after M. Pavie’s departure from Bangkok, however, he will go to Lisbon or Madrid, as he is accredited to Spain and Portugal as well as to France. The minister still hopes for peaceable settlement of the trouble. The Siamese secretary of the legation said that no further news had been received at the legation from Bangkok. Upon seeing M. Pavie embark, he added, the Siamese government might decide to accept the terms of the ultl- I matum. This supposition, however, j was merely personal and did not rest on any definite information. London, July 25.—The Bangkok correspondent to the Times says: “The territory that Siam offers to sacrifice covers the extreme pointof recently attempted French aggression. The cession involves the evacuation of the Siamese ports of Poowadone Altopen and Sumpang. On the river itself the French have been unable in four months to place a single station except Khnong, and that was obtained by a surprise.” London, July 25. The FrancoSiamese 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 Bang' kok 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. . London, July 25.—The Times publishes an editorial which, it is thought, expresses the general English opinion of the merits of the Franco-Siamese dispute. In commenting upon Siam’s answer to the French ultimatum, the Times says: “Siam’s refusal to go beyond just and reasonable limits or to concede territory to which France never put in an effective claim until the other day, is no excuse for a measure of hostility, ostensibly directed against, the Siamese, but really striking at the commerce of England and other countries having com mercial relation with Siam. ”

Portions of Kansas Overrun by Pernlless Workmen from Colorado. Topeka. Kan., July 25. Western Kansas is overrun with men who are making theii way east from Colorado, where they nave been thrown out of employment by closing of the mines and smelters. ■A.

National Union Day at the Fair. Detkoit, Mich., July 20.—At the second session of the National Union senate held Wednesday a resolution was passed appropriating $2,000 to defray the expenses of < a proper celebration of National Union day at the Columbian exposition, which was fixed at August 2.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.

The Flnanchl Situation u Reviewed at the Treasury Departments National Banks Make an Excellent Showing—Some Failures Reported. Washington. July 25.—As viewed at the treasury department, the week begins with brighter financial prospects. A number of the recently failed banks are taking the necessary steps to resume, and Comptroller Eckels is lending them all the aid possible. He was notified during morning that the failed First national bank, of Kendallville, Ind., and the failed Northern national bank, of Big Rapids, Mich., would probably resume this week. The First nar tional bank, of Santa Anna, Cat, which resumed business on Saturday after a short suspension, received in deposits <12,000 while the withdrawals amounted to only <B,OOO. This is regarded as an evidence that confidence is being practically restored on the Pacific coast. Comptroller Eckles says a sufficient number of national bank requests have been received under his last call to form a basis of estimate of the general condition. He says the showing is excellent; that the condition is as good and in many places better than ever before. A general increase oof reserves of from Ito 3 per cent is shown. Mr. Eckels says these reports demonstrate that the banks properly conducted are upon a sound basis and that the failures are only of weak banks. It is proof, he adds, that the system is being purged of banks badly conducted—those that are run as aids to other schemes.

Milwaukee, July 25.—There was not much excitement at the banks here Monday, and there is a feeling that there will be no more big runs unless something unusual should happen. During the morning the Merchants’ exchange bank paid off a large number of depositors and there was quite a little gathering in the Mitchell bank. The crowds melted before noon, however, and during the afternoon there were few people in any of the banks except regular customers doing their usual business. There is said to be a strong probability that the Milwaukee national bank, which closed Saturday, will resume business shortly. Connersville, Ind., July 25.—The Citizens’ bank, owned by ex-United States Treasurer Huston, closed its doors Monday morning. The liabilities are <150,000. Mr. Huston posted a notice that all claims would be

paid in full and that his entire estate would be held for the benefit of depositors. The total assets will amount to half a million dollars. Mr. Huston offered Indianapolis parties <IOO,OOO collateral securities for | the loan of <15,000 a short time ago, but was refused. The other banks did not encounter “runs,” and everything indicates that people are confident that Mr. H uston will soon resume. Medford, Wis., July 25.—The Taylor county bank has failed and Cashier Matt has fled. It was the depository for the county and city funds. Hermann Matt, the cashier, was the county clerk and school treasurer, while Theodore Hartman, the president, is mayor. The bank is stocked for <9,000, owned by Hartman & Matt. The assets are given at $16,000. As near as can be estimated the county funds on deposit ’ amount to <6,000, while of the city money there is about <4,500. Mr. Hartman says he will turn over all the property he has to save the creditors of the bank from loss. Washington, July 25.—Since the Ist of January nearly 200 national bankshave closed their doors, against less than fifty during the same period last year. Of the failures this year five have been United States depositories, as follows: i The First national bank, of Little Rock, Ark.; the Gate City National bank, of Atlanta, Ga.; the People’s national bank, of Denver, Col.; the German national bank, of Denver, CoL, and the Kentucky national bank, of Louisville, Ry. Syracuse, N. ¥., July 25.—The extensive manufacturing firm of Bradley & Co. went into a receivership Monday afternoon. Judge Vann appointed John Dunn, Jr., receiver. The firm manufactured triphammers, wagons and fancy carriages and filters. The building and plant are valued at <500,000. The liabilities are about <350,000. The judge issued an order allowing the receiver to continue the manufacture and the sale of the stock on hand. Chicago, July 25.—The firm of Parkhurst & Wilkinson, iron merchants at 148 to 164 Kinzie street, failed on Monday. The firm’s assets are estimated at <1,000,000. Parkhurst & Wilkinson were among the leading merchants in their line in the United States and had been established for more than a decade. Slow collections due at the bank is the cause of their trouble. Baltimore, Md., July 25.—The South- ' ern Electric company, one of the big enterprises of this city, made a voluntary assignment Monday to Morrill N. ! Packard. Failure to collect overdue ac- » counts made it impossible for the company to meet its obligations. The assets of the concern are estimated at 8175,000; liabilities, <IOO,OOO. Mr. Packard filed a bond for <300,000. Louisville, Ky., July 25.—The Louisville national bank suspended payment Monday afternoon. The bank has a capital stock of $401,009. The announcement that the bank had closed for business was not unexpected. The bank found that it was impossible to realize on the assets owing to the financial stringency. Deposits received during the day will be returned.

LOWEST PRICE YET.

The Government Makes Silver Purchases at 60.6. 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 govern ment purchases. There were seven bidders offering in the 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 and let go 40,000 ounces more at the same figure.

Sustain the Sinking System.

This common sense injunction is tod ofv a unheeded. Business anxieties, overwork. exposure must and do cause mental and physical exhaustion, which lessens rigor and tells injuriously upon the system. That most beneficent of tonics and restoratives, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, effectually compensates for a drain of strength and ices of nerve power, regulates impaired digestion, arouses the dormant fiver and renders the bowels active. It is, besides, a preventive of malarial and rhenmatio ait, meats. u At ths Theater. —“Mamma, doesn’t papa ™ ua “Yes, my child: why do you askr ‘He always goes out between the m:ts when the band plays.”—Philadelphia Record.
