DENVER, Col, July 2O.-The follow

the State National bank Wednesday
morning: '"This bank will not be
opened for business this morning. De-
positors will be paid in full"
At the hour of opening for banking
business crowds had assembled at the
different banks, but there did not ap-
pear to be the same excitement among
the depositors that existed Tuesday.
The Peoples National bank sue
cumbed to the inevitable at IL o'clock
Wednesday morning.
The excitement is rapidly increasing.
The State national bank did not open
it's doors Wednesday. A notice is post
ed to the effect that owing to inability
to procure funds to meet demands
which might be made upon the bank,
it will temporarily close. The bank
officials say that depositors will not
lose cent, and that the bank will re-
sumo business in a few days.
The German National bank threw up
the sponge at 10 o'clock, the usual
opening hour. A card was placed on
the door which read: "Closed by order
of the directors"
There is great crowd of disappoint.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The closing
Of the Russian exhibits at the Worlds
Columbian exposition Thursday, and
the statement that an appeal would be
made to the Russian minister here for
protection, as reported from Chicago.
were discussed in official circles Friday,
rather blindly, because of a lack of par.
ticulars
The Russian legation ut Washington
is closed, all the members being at
lIenox, Mass, where they are spending
the summer. Whether or not any
complaint has been made by Commits
sioner-General Glouchovsky regarding
the treatment of Exhibitor Loolsooten
can not be told here. Nothing has been
heard at the state department from
Cantacazine, the Russian minister, and.
of course, in his absence from the CITY
nothing could be reasonably expected
for several days.
An examination of the re-
ports made by the United States
commissioners to the several
Worlds fairs of recent years
on file in the state department shows
that but scant attention was paid to
the matter of selling exhibits by the
exhibitors 1t seems to have been taken
for granted that sales would be made,
but the regulations governing them
were very brief. At the Paris exposition
of 1867 it was provided that lob.
Jects sold can not be removed before
the close of the exposition without
special permit of the imperial commits
sioners."
No regulation covering this matter
is contained in the circular issued in
connection with the Vienna exposition
of 1878.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Collector Clark
visited the fair grounds Friday to in.
quire into the difficulty between the
customs officers and the Russian ex-
hibitors. He ordered Deputy Collector
Hall to make full report of the mat
ter, and pending review of the re-
port the collector will take no official
action.

SIAMESE TROUBLE.
British Men, War Ordered to do
to Bangkok at Once.
France Determined to Got From Slam All
sho Asked-Russia VIII support France
on All the Points Involved In the
Peculiar Siamess Difficulty.

LONDON, July 21.-Further questions
were asked in the House of Commons
Thursday in regard to the Siamese
troubles. Sir Edward Grey, :pnrlia-
mentary secretary of the foreign Office,
replied in behalf of the government.
He rehearsed the events that have
occurred in Siam since the relations
between that country and France had
become strained, and said that the
British government had neither
such sufficient nor precise in
formation us would enable it To
form conclusion as to the merits
OF the conflict. Sir Edward added
that the only part of the French ulti-
matum to Siam which concerned Great
Britain was that relating to territorial
arrangements between France and
Siam. The government had deter
mined to send Lord Dufferin, the Brit
ish ambassador to France, back to Paris
with view to securing an immediate
exchange of views with the French
government on this point. The matter
would be conducted in an amicable
spirit.
A special cabinet meeting was sum.
moned in Downing street Thursday af.
ternoon. There was full attendance.
Frances demands on Siam were dis.
cussed at length, and eventually in.
structions for the marquis of Dufferin,
British ambassador to France, were
formulated and approved. Immediate.
ly after the meeting, the earl of Rose.
berry, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, communicated with the ad-
miralty as regards the disposition of
the fleet in Asiatic waters Late in the
afternoon special orders were dis
patched by the admiralty to- Vice Ad.
miral Sir f. r. Fremantle, commander
in-chief of the Chinese division of the
fleet.
These facts, together with the sud.
den canceling of the marquis of Duff
terms leave OF absence, are regarded
as hardly in harmony with the official
predictions OF perfectly amicable set
Element with France of the Siamese
difficulty. Even if not alarmed by the
course of France, the government ia
believed to realize that the Siamese af-
tair is fraught with the most serious
possibilities, for which immediate prep.
must be made by Great Brit
ain.
PARIS, July 21.-The statement ia
published that Baron Mohrenheim, tho
Russian ambassador to France, officially
informed the French government prior
% the session of the chamber of depu-
les on Tuesday last, when M. De-
'alle, the foreign minister. defined

hat the Russian fleet in Chinese waters
under orders to proceed to the Gulf
Il Siam for the purpose of supporting
he French and of protecting the
french residents in Siam. The fleet is
expected to shortly arrive in Siamese
raters.
The senate Thursday passed unani-
nously resolution approving in every
aspect the attitude of the government
n the Siamese affair.

Interesting Register of tho Department
fnfa

State.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The depart.
ment of state has just issued n register
containing some new features. One OF
these is "a historical sketcch of eyery
secretary and assistant secretary from
Thomas Jefferson down to the present
day.
Another is record of the persons in
the diplomatic and consular service.
which is interesting from it's exhibition
OF the number of such officers who have
remained forty years in the service un-
disturbed by the mutations of politics.
The Nestor of the consular corps ap-
pears to be William S. Campbell, who
was originally appointed consul at Rot
terdam, April 81, 1s43. The new regis.
ter also discloses a reform that has been
effected in the methods of the state de.
partments itself.
For many years the clerical force has
been organized under system which
placed each clerk in charge of cores.
pondence on certain specific subjects.
AS a consequence it has happend that
some clerks were unduly taxed while
others were comparatively idle. The
register shows that this practice has
been abolished.

China May Take u Hand.

TIENTsIN, July 21.-Information has
been received here from Pekin to the
effect that China has taken measures
to support Siam as against the French.
oian has for many years paid tribute
to China, but only as matter of usage
and convenience, and it is now appar-
INT that China is determined to assist
the Siamese against French encroach.
ments upon their territory. The inter.
ference of China will add most inter.
esting feature to the Franco-Siamese
dispute and will probably result in
modification of some of the de.
mands OF France as contained in .ier

AZ New Orleans Robbed OF Thuusnusis -
Dollars-JRmcs M. Dowling, Cashier ~
the Mint to be Arrested.
NEW ORLEANS, July 20.-Private ad.
vices received here Monday night are
10 the effect that orders have been
issued for the arrest of James M. Dowl-
ing, cashier of the u. s. mint in this
city, on a charge of embczzlement Of
government funds. Mr.. Bowling is and
has been prominently identified with
the commercial and political history of
New Orleans for years, and the
news that he was to bN arrested was re-
ceived with marked surprise by his
numerous friends. The charge of en-
bezzlement grew out of a fire which oc-
Cured in one of the mint vaults three
weeks ago. The origin of the fire was
o mystery, and the officials of the mint
could not account for it. Cashier Dowl-
ing was the only person who had the
key to the vault, and knew the combine
ton on the inner door.
AT the time of the FIRE there was
100000 in gold and silver, and s25, ,Ooe
in greenbacl1s in the vault. The green.
backs were in u tin box, and the fire
started among the bills The explana-
tion by Cashier Bowling as to the origin
of the fire was that an Oil lamp had
been displaced from it's socket by the
explosion of an incandescent globe in
the vault, and had fallen into the tin
box The oil had, he contended, be-
come fired, and the bills were ignited.
Two government experts were sent
to the city from Washington to investi-
gate the mystery, and Mr.. Bowling was
shadowed by detectives. The invests
CATION was performed quietly, and
week ago the work was practically
completed. The report of the experts
was sent to Washington, and on the
strength thereof the orders for the ar.
rest of Bowling were issued. The
amount of the deficit is S24, 200.
1t is believed that instead of their
being $500 in the vault at the time Of
the fire, only small amount was
stored in the box, and that the fire was
started with view of covering ND a |
shortage which would have been dis.
covered as soon as the annual settle.
ment at the end of the fiscal year
would have been made. Bowling has a |

Ihe Oners at the. Treasury Department
Very Large and a Decline In Price.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The offers of
silver at the treasury department were
very large Friday and showed further
decline in the value of the metal. The
total amount offered for sale was
$4,000 ounces and the prices asked
ranged from 20 cents to 71L.
cents an ounce. Three hundred thou
sand ounces were purchased at 70 cents
and an offer of that price for the re-
mainder was made. 1t will probably
be accepted. The treasury depart
ment officials do not believe the price
OF silver will go below 70 cents until
after the repeal of the Sherman law.
They do not, however, anticipate any
increase in its value, but believe the
price is likely to remain at 10 cents.
