home government can be made only with
 difficulty and with a great loss of time. While
 the ministry only ask for an appropriation
 of 5, ,0OO, GOO francs it expects the ultimate
 cost of the occupation will be 30,-
 COG, ,00O francs, which sum it is expect
 ed to get back from the commerce of
 the country and from special tax which it
 intends to compel the King to fix and which
 it proposes to place itself in position to col
 1ect. The government expected the rsjec-
 tion of it's ultimatum submitted through
 Commander Kergaradic, and the fleet sent
 out ready for any emergency consists of one second hand ironclad, two gunboats, six
 steam sloops and three transports, convey ing one thousand eight hundred marine in- fantry and artillery men, which will make the French force in Annam somewhat over three thousand men. The fleet was armed and equipped at Toulon and the work was begun i've weeks ago. The first important outbreak of hostilitiss tempted to block the river and prevent the retirement of Comm mandant Riyisre in an emergency and threatening his commurica- tion with the sea. On finding what had been done he deliberately seized the fortress of Nam Dihn, which commanded the navigable arm of the sea. The result is that the French at Hu had to leave on account of the annoyances to which he was subject ed, and for fear that his presence would only aggravate the difficulties already existing. He has gone on one of the French dispatch boats to Sargim, where he now is Hong Bay has also been taken by the French. The assaults on the fortress resulted in con- siderable French losses, and among the killed was Lieutenant Colonel Carreau. who had both legs blown of by the explosion of 3 shell.

The Trial of Congressman Thompson.
 HARRoDsBURa, May 9.-Five jurymen so far have been accepted in the Thompson murder case, four peremptory challenges having been made by the prosecution, while only two have been made by the defense. This morn ing the commonwealths attorney MT. Huek, asked for an order of arrest against Mrs. Susan Lyme, witness who was avoiding the service of subpoena. It is rumored that she heard Miss Buckner make certain threats against the domestic peace of Walker Davis. Mrs. Mickles, witness for the prosecution, is the wife of Robert Mickles, cashier of the Mercer National bank at this place. She says the dead man Davis called to see Mrs Fisher, his partners wife, at about 3:30 o'clock on the afternoon of the same day that the alleged outrage was perpetrated. Be- tween and o'clock Mrs. Mickles and Mrs. Fisher met Walter Davis and Mrs. Phil Thompson, jr., and spoke with them. Both ladies, says Mrs. Thompson and Davis were perfectly sober when they met them. This contradicts Miss Buckner. Mrs. Garnett, Thompson's mother-in law, is also witness for the prosecution.
 4 full jury was secured, but one juror was found to be already under indictment for malicious shooting, and was excused and re- placed. The jury is regarded favorable to Thompson, containing several personal friends, comrades in arms in the late war. Lieutenant Governor Central of the prose- cution was Thompson's commanding officer. The commonwealth's case was opened.

Affairs in Cochin ChIna-The Situation
 Embarrassing To Both Frence and
 ChIna-AddftiOnal Troops on the Scene
 ofCOnHIct
 PARIS, May 9.-The situation in Cochin China has become Embarrassing alike to France and China and declaration of war and probably complete occupation by the French of the Tonquin peninsula seems to be the only present result possible. The latest advices announce the departing of over 1000 additional troops from China for the scene of the trouble, the attack on Hanoi of 1000 Chinese troops and the presentation of the Freuch ultimatium to the Emperor Tudic. The attack on Hanoi was resisted by the French under Kergarsdio, the commander of the fleet, who bore letter from President Grevy to Emperor Tudic. The government several weeks ago decided not to send 8 civil commissioner to the Annam government as it regarded the King as unable to sustain any promises that had been or might be made. and all further negotiations will have to be carried on through military and naval officers. The King has been asked formally to accept Q French protectorate and to sign protocol admitting protectorate accompanied by a guarantee of the integrity of the Kings do- mipions. France protecting the country from the claims and attacks of the Chinese gov ernment and in consideration of such pro- tection demanding the right to control the foregn relations of the King or empire of Annam. The government says in it's de-
 nand for the control under it's treaty rights oe the Red river district that it intends to establish France in per maneut position and to fortify certain points on the river so as to free the country from the hands of the Chinese pill Iaeers by whom it is, and has been. infested. It was on this basis, by which the French government expected to establish paying customs system, that the appropriation of 5- -oOo O0O francs was asked. The ministry cave it's assurance that the probable direct commercial income would much more than nav all the expenses of the expedition, while at ths same lime it would greatiy add to the influence of the French republic in Eastern matters. The Chinese attack on Hanoi was made on April 20th, and the repulse involved considerable loss of life, principally on the part of the assailants. The draft of the new "treaty'' so called, is accompenied by 3 demand for it's immediate acceptance, and the statement that the King will be allowed only twenty four hours in which to make This declsion. In the event of refusal ta sign the revised treaty. or a failure fo act st once, the French commander isi empowered st once to declare war formally and to leave hu 1m- mediateIy, The decision is leftto his own discretion since ccmmunicatlen with the

 Kelly Finally Convicted and Sentenced
 to be Hanged.
 DUBLIN, May 9.-The government. suc- eeeded today in convictiDg Timothy Kelly of murder in connection with the Phoenix Park tragedy, and condemned him to death. As already suggested in the United Press association dispatches, the government on the third trial intended to secure 8 conviction and postponed the trial in order to secure other informers in eorroboration of Carey g evidence which in the two previous trials had failed to convict. The prosecuting counsel have throughout been convinced of Kelly's guilt, but feeling as to the method employed ran so high as to prevent an agree ment by the juries. The verdict of to-day was secured entirely by the confession of Delaney made at the time when he pleaded guilty and was sentenced, which strongly contradicted the alibi evidence put in and to which the court particularly attracted the attention of the new jury.
