WAR THREATENED.
Trouble Likely to Occur in Asia Between

Trouble Likely to Occur in Asia Between
the French and Siamese.
LONDON, June pa dispatch from
Calcutta states that war is threatened
in Asia, between the French and Siam
csc. The Annamites, who are tributary
to France, have already come to blows
with the Siamese troops on the banks of
the Mekong, and the Siamese are en-
gagged in ravaging the territory claimed
by the French that is within their jur-
isdiction. Nothing has been heard of
M. Pavie, French officer who, with a
party OF assistants, was engaged in ad-
justing the boundary line, and strong
apprehension is felt that he may have
fallen a victim to Siamese hostility,
Should such be the case, direct hostili-
ties between France and Siam are more
than probable, especially as the Siamese
feel but little disposed to make any con-
cession. German and English influences
are powerful in Siam, and the Germans
hold valuable contracts that would be
disastrously affected by war. The
King of Siam, however, is believed to
be DESTROYS of peace and has ordered
his troops on the frontier to abstain for
the present from any aggressive course.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
Southeastern Kansas Visited by De-
struetiVe Storm.

KANSAS CITY, June 22.-The south
eastern corner of Kansas was visited by
destructive storms, causing some loss of
life, much damage to property and to
growing crops. The storm was of diff
ferent natures at different points. At
Ft. Scott it took the form of cloud
burst, at Arkansas City cyclone and
Emporia tornado. It's effects were
terrible. Towns were flooded, houses
blown over, barns demolished, fences
swept away and crops washed and laid
low.
The storm could not have come at a
worse time for the crops. Compare
lively meagre reports have been received
from the country districts where the
storms occurred, and full estimate of
the damage to crops cannot be made.
From the facts at hand, however, it is
estimated that the total loss will not fall
far short of full 100000. A few lives
were lost.

which emanated from the members of

was nothing whatever to warrant the
dispatch. The names used in the vivid
description of the battle are those of
prominent and popular members of the

The most profitable manner of feeding
pigs is to keep them constantly IN a con
aition for slaughter. The continu
Gus growth thus made is the most profit
able, as, all the food is turned to the
best use without any loss of time Or
weight. The animal that is constantly
growing makes the most flesh in the
least time, and thus turns the food to the
most profitable use. \ pig of niue
months may thus gain the same weight

ing over the winter is thus saved, with
