matuui have been made known the wires
between London and Pckin havo been bur
denei with diplomatic correspondence Of
tho highest Importance.
1t has been generally understood In diplo-
matte circles hero that England would not
permit q surrender to the territorial de.
mands OF France without some form of in
terferonce. IL has already been announced
that Lord Dufsrn will he sent back to
Paris to seek explanations, and there is rea-
son for believing that q moro etfectual pro-
test will be made through tho Pekin govern
ment. There has boen, in fact, an under
standing arrived at between the British and
Chinese governments regarding their course
of procedure in Slam.
The motives and intentions OF tho French
government are By no means clear to other
powers. Even England did not regard the
situation ns sorions till Thursday, but the
political difficulties of the French govern
mont were well understood. 1t was quite
plum that Carnot must got up some diver
sion to draw attention from recent events
and arouse patriotic erthusinsm in order to
mako success possible in next month
elections. An annEnglish Graz, has
been rampant in France for several weeks.
The insult to Lord Duferin has b,en ro-
sented in the only possible way by the Eng
ish government orbidding him to return
to Paris at present, and nothing but grave
emergency would have led to the sudde II
return of the ambassador to deal with the
Siemese question.
1t is now regarded as doubtful whether
French severity against Siam is actuated
solely by motives of partisan home politics.
If the French government is merely cater
i,,ry to anti oil .h tr-tlI I'm
essary to keep on twisting the lions tail
another month. The beast is ready to roar
already, but if it shows signs of retaliation
Garnet must take defiant attitude, or his
political cause is lost with the electors.
Tho announcement from St. Petersburg
that the entire Russian press sides with
Francs in the Stamese dispute is point OF
much significance. 1t is generally believed
here that Russia will take immediate advan-
tage OF the opportunity to improve her po-
sition In the Pamirs whidh ensuing com
plicatons may offer, even il she does not
openly assist France in case of Chinese in
terferencc.
Three Siamese Forts Captured.
PARIS, July GA despatch from Saigon
says that Capt. Nillsrs, commanding the

the course of tho day the French captured
Forts Donque, Dongo and DORIAN, confin-
ing the enemy at Fort Dorson. The last
fort was captured the following day.

800, coo and may be much greater. 1t

THE STORM WAS RUlNOUS.
Rutland County Claims a Loss of 500.
900 to Market Gardeners.


RUTLAND, July 24.-Rcports received
this morning indicate that Saturday 5
rain and wind storm in this vicinity
was much worse than at first reported.
Acres on acres of corn and oats have been
laid fat, while many gardens throughout
the county have been practically destroyed,
and the loss in this regard is not small when
1t 10 remem bered that no less than 200 pso-
pie in this county depend on market garden
ing for their living. The storm seems to
have struck with special severity in this
valley. One market gardener says: 81
may be exaggeratps, but l think the storm
OF Saturday caused loss of not less than
800, coo to the market gardeners of this
county. Our late corn, for instance, is
practically ruined and other marketable
products have suffered in the same way.
At any ratio the outlook is anything but
hopeful.

Her Plan.

She was from Boston, sweet, simple
thing lovely to look upon and almost good
enough to eat, but she knew nothing of the
ways and means of life. But she thought
she did, oh, yes, and had an idea in her
head that what she didn't know wasn't
worth knowing at all.
So that one day in her Detroit boarding
house when the weather threatened q
spring freshet she went to the landlord and
said:
Il have some trunks in the basement. Do
you think the water will get into them?"
Dunno" answered the landlord, who
had his money in advance; tits bout a
foot deep now outside and rising"
Dear, dear, how perfectly dreadful I
have wardrobe in those trunks that I
value at $4,000"
''ShO', now" answered the heartless man.
