the United States, and desired to cultivate
our friendship and trade, but intrigue pre-
vented until Gen. Holdmen, of Kansas, was
appointed consul general at Bangkok, and
took steps to assert American influence,
in which he was singularly successful
over the opposition of native noblemen in
foreign pay. Itwas agreed that if the United
States would elevate the consul general to a
minister the king of Siam would accredit a
minister to this country and upon recon-
mendation of Secretary Frelinghuysen this
was accomplished at the last congress. Gen.
Holdeman was promoted to the ministership,
and upon his return to Bangkok, Siames
embassy was at once accredited to the United
States.
DELIVERED HIM UP.
Minister Langston performed a painful
duty in surrendering his son to the authori-
ties on an Indictment for murder. This un-
fortunate occurrence brought him home from
Hayti, and he was placed in communication
with his son, a fugitive from Justice, hiding
in Memphis, Tenn. Upon the arrival of the
train from the west to-day, he met his
son and in company with Officer
Rhodes delivered him into the custody of
Marshal McMichael, who placed him in Jail.
The scene on meeting and parting was very
affecting. Langston proposes to abide by the
law and have his son tried accordingly. He
believes he can make out clear case of
self-defense. Young La gston is only nine
teen years old, and at thu time of the shoot
ing was employed as an apprentice at the
government printing Office. He is good
looking and would easily pass for a full
blooded Caucasian, although he is eighth
colored

sABIN A BLAINE MAN.
The Washington Post, Democratic Blaine
organ, publishes the following to-day:
Somebody must have lyuilded wider than
they knew when Sabin vas elected chairman
of the National Republican committe. 1t
appears that as delegate to the last two ma
| tional conventions he was a Blaine man and
so voted. He is a BlaiES H.: still and at
the head of Blaine delegation, which is
probably not quite SO gratifying to Malone
as Dezendorf
