LONDON. July 24.-The Globe says: The
flagrant French aggression is aimed at
England. Siam Is merely q pretext. Hence
the duty of the British foreign Office Is

counting upon the feebleness Of the Brit

nearer home than the Mekong river.
The St. James Gazette says: One thought
conveyed by Slams reply TO the French
ultimatum is that she has suffered enough
humiliation for small power that has
been unfortunate enough 70 get In the way
of a big one. But France has gone forth

is a different matter. We are AFRAID that

EVANSVILLE, O., July 24.-A desper-
alta assault was made on little daugh-
ter OF Charles Stanton at noon to-day
by rdffian, who is supposed to be one
of the blacksheep employed In the roll
ing mill here.
The girl, who Is only twelve years OF
age. was crossing the Monroe street
bridge, on the outskirts OF the city,
carrying dinner to her father, who Is
EN- ployed In the West Side.
When half way ever the bridge she
met a man who accosted her and az
tempted to be familiar with her.
She paid no attention to him, but
hurried on. He followed her, and as
she emerged from the bridge he seized
her and carried her down the embanK-
ment under the bridge.
There is no house within three or
four squares Of the place, but the girl
screamed and struggled. Fortunately a
gentleman appeared, and hearing her
cries rushed to the girls assistance.
The brute beat hasty retreat and
the child was conveyed home, and the
police notified.
A crowd Of excited neighbors soon
gathered at the bridge and searching
party is now out. 1t is supposed he
boarded and east-bound freight, and all
the towns along the railway have been
notified to look out for him.

will no doubt go hard with him. Inc
girl is very Ill from the effects OF the
fright.
