the cholera appeared in very few days,
and 1t held high revel among the religious
devotees. On that occasion severe meas
ures dispersed the pilgrims, and the dis
ease was checked, but not until hundreds
had died and scores of others sickened in
their flight and died as they travelled.
and their bodies were cast into rivers or
left to rot on land, and so the disease
spread.

Our contention is that against these
assaults upon decency and the lives of
innocent peoples, the nations of the world
have not only right to protest, but to
carry the protest to enforcement. Not
that religion is to be interfered with, or
that any human being is to be deprived
of any right, but religious ceremonies
must be made to conform in the matter OF
decency, to the law Of godliness, that de-
mands cleanliness first-and this, that
the world may not be ravaged by the
plague, which is but the snarl of offended
nature, the blow it returns for the abuse
of its sanitary laws.

tinued Till This Morning.

IneIr examination for Robbery Con-
tinued Till This Morning.
Tom Williams, Tom Clark, alias James
Clark and Tom Campbell were arraigned
in the Police Court this morning for ex-
animation on the charge of robbery.

and put it IN his pocket and shortly after
started 10 run away, when Williams fol-
lowed him. Witness fell down, and
Williams jumped on him and choked
him. while Campbell held his hands and
Clark held his feet.
Williams said We're going to have
that money, and you had better give it
up, or you will get hurtr'
Witness lay there after being choked
until he got his breath, and then went
and told the police that the men were in
Lesser's saloon. " hen they got there
the men were on the street. ana were ar

The prisoners all denied the story, and
asked to have some witnesses subpenaed
to prove that McCarty treated and paid
Tor the drinks himself, as well as TO prove
that McCarty went to the Pacific Brew
cry and staid there for an hour and came
back drunk

WE do not recall an instance in the his
tory of the State where proposition
of a public character, advanced with
boldness and in boom spirit has fallen
so fiat, and died so quickly as the insane
idea of pressing the Governor to call an
extra session of the Legislature to tax
the people half million to help out the
Midwinter Fair. The scheme really died
while drawing its first breath, though that

THE great financial debate in Congress
is now fully on and it will absorb public
attention for the next few weeks. The
likelihood is that but comparatively few
of the speeches will be read in their en-
tirety, but the press can be trusted to
present the salient points made very
fully, and it will not be difficult for the
citizen who wishes to be informed to
keep close to the debate as it progresses.
We look upon the discussion as the most
important that has come upon the country
since the era of resumption OF specie
payment by the National Government.

because that city would not or could not
patronize the games" No such com
plant was made of Sacramento, but the
league went to pieces because of Los

that it was not so much for want of

ONE man has put the phonograph
to use that is at once delightful
and practical. Nansen, the Norwegian
explorer, has gone to find the North Pole
and may he find it, for he is devoted,
modest and truth-loving scientist. He
takes with him one of the best of Edi-
sons monographs, into which his wife,
whom he leaves in Stockholm, sang all
his fayorite songs, and into which also
their baby lifted up his gleeful voice.
When the explorer is in the land of night,
weary, lonely and dispirited, he has but
to take out the phonograph. adjust its
delicate machinery, and 10, there comes
to him the tones of the voices of those he
loves, and with whom all his hopes re-
side. The effect of such communion is
the sentiment in the case. The practical
is found in the fact that this phonogra ph
may in time of sore distress furnish him
with the stimulant that alone can save
him from despair and ruin, and lead him
on to success. But it is a wonderfully
delightful thing to contemplate, this ex-
plorer in the frozen seas, in the awfulness
of the solitude of the polar region. sit
ting down in his furs in the snow hut, or
beneath the sledge that shelters him from
the blast, or icily locked in the cabin of
his ship and holding sweet communion
with the loved ones at home. He may
even mingle his voice with theirs, and
join in the melodies of the old home
songs. What a stimulant to such a man
as Manson that will be.

REGULAR lines of steamers ply be-
tween Antwerp and New York, and be-
tween Naples and New York. With
cholera in each of the European cities
named, it will be miraculous if it does
not secure a foothold in the American
metropolis. Why the communication
between the infected ports and this coun-
try should not be cut off at the root, is
something the ordinary citizen cannot
understand. What obligation is upon us
to admit ships from these cholera ports at
all? Why not fight the disease in mid
ocean, instead of permitting it to make
landing on our shores and then trusting
to quarantine as our rock of safety?

HEAVY INDEMNITY Is DEMANDED.

Siam Is willing to Indemnify.
/ PARIS, July 2O-The statement pub
lished in The Soir relative TO the sending OF
an ultimatum to the Siamese government
/ Is confirmed by a semi-ofIical announce
/ ment. The ultimatum has been sent.
siam will bc given forty-eght hours in
which TO accept or reject the demands
made upou her by France NJ Develle sent
the ultimatum directly after the close of
the session of the chamber of deputies. 1t
was addressed to NJ Iavie, the French res
ident at Bangkok.
The total indemnity claimed by France is
3,OOOOOO francs, exclusively of the claim
made by private persons. The ultimatum
declares that if Siam does not agree to the
demands made upon her i'm the time speci-
fled the French feet will blockade the Me
nam river, upon which the Siamese capi-
tai is located If the terms offered by
/, France are accepted the French will re-
quire as a pledge Of good faith permission
60 occupy one of the forts or a safe anchor
age at the entrance to the Meuam river.
II the principle of the ultimatum is ac-
be deferred until the arrival at Bangkok
of NJ, Lemyre de Nilliers, who is now on
the way to Siam as French plenipoteu-
tiary
dispatch from Bangkok saws the Siam
ese government admits that the French
citizens whose injuries and losses have
been the subjects of negotiations and pro
tests are entitled to indemnity, and has
offered to make a deposit i'm bank pend
ing proceedings TO determine the amount
of damages Every attempt to get definite
statement of claims, however, is said to
have failed
The French are already in possession of
the Lower MekOng river, and if Siam con
cedes the demE us now made upon her
the river will be made almost entirely
French. 1t was but a short time ago that
the river was acknowledged to be a con-
siderable distance to the westward of the
French sphere of influence in AMMAN. A
mountain range lies long distance to the
eastward of the Mekong river, and the
French claimed no jurisdiction to the west
ward of this range.
Recently France claimed the entire
water shed to the westward of the noun
tains to the river, and now she demands
that the Siamese evacuate the western
bank which, if they do, will place both
banks of the river for the greater parts of
its length in possession of the French.
This would give France complete juris-
diction over certain portions of the
Laos states that are now tributary to
Siam. In its more norJherly course, the
river separates the Shan states, under
British control, from the Laos states. If
France gets possession of the territory she
eventually desires, her newly acquired pos
sessions will border on what is practically
British territory.
