AIMED AT ENGLAND,
War Talk from the british Journals.
Frances "FIagrapt Aggression"

war Talk from the british Journals
Frances "FIagTupt Aggression"
LONDON, July e4,-The Globe says;
fragrant French aggression is aimed at
England, siam is merely pretext.
Hence the duty of the British foreign
Office is one OF extraordinary difficulty.
England's place in the situation is
paramount. Hrmness Is necessary, for
doubtless, France is counting upon the
ieeblenesa Of the British counsels, She
is not hungry for war nearer home
than the Mekong river.
The st, James GaEsits says: One
thought conveyed by Slams reply to
the French ultimatum Is that she has
suffered enough humiliation for a small
power that has been unfortunate
enough to get in the way Of a big one.
But France has gone forth to grab and
to extort her desires at tho cannon's
mouth. We can endure the pillage Of
Siam to the eighteenth parallel OF latl-
tude, but the pilIaSe OF Siam, China
and Durham to the twenty-third par
allel is a different matter. We are
afraid that Lord RoseberIy (the Britiah
foreign minister) must let the govern
ments at Bangkok and Paris know that
this is going q triAe too far, Such o
check In tho present temper OF the
French may have serious results.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting
upon the aituation in an article headed
"BlackmaiI," says: "sian has spoken
with dignity and moderation. She
gives up too much, but she does not
for amoment recognize the preposter'
Gus demands made upon her. In re-
gard to these demands France must
reckon with England. We must not
hesitate to let our voice be heard. Lord
Roseberry aud Lord Dufterin (the Brit.
ish Ambassador to France), must be
alert and N. Bevelle, French foreign
minister, careful. II France cherishes
the idea OF bombarding Bangkok let
her remember that tho English gum
boats in Siamese waters could blow the
French gunbo ats out Of the water in
half an hour. Let France pocket her
blackmail and be content"
The Times says editoriaiiy this morn
ing: "England's main objection In the
matter is against making British and
French possession In Asia contermin-
GUS.
The Standards leader on France and
Siam contains this passage; "The
terms that France Is trying to impose
on Siam would be indeiensible in any
court OF international morality"

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
The Record Shows the Judge Up in IN
Embd RSaing Way,

WASHINGTON, j O., July 94-The
following additional statement has been
issued from the pension office with
reference to the suspension Of Judge
Longs pension; "a further examina-
ton Of the papers in the case Of Judge
Dean Long, who, on May 8, 1889, had
his pension Terated and $50 o month
granted from June 4, 1873, and $72 q
month from June II, 1880, does not i'm
prove matters for the Judge, The ex'
animation shows that the case was
taken up without legal application or
declaration Of any kind on May Q, 1880,
and that lit was examined on May .,
1880, reviewed on May 6, 1880, medical
action taken on May 9, 1889, and Certia'
cate issued on May 8, 1889.
"In other words 1t was railroaded
through between two suns aud some-
thing like 5000 paid to the judge In
back pension. On July so, 1889, in
compliance with q letter'written by the
Judge to Commissioners Tanner, dated
June 12, 1880, the case was further re-
rated at the rate OF $25 per month from
June "a, 1859, to June 9, 1865, and S3l 20
per month from June'4, 1872, to June
4, 1874. This second reratlng netted
the Judge total OF about $1,000,
ut Is further remembered by several
pension office employees that Judge
Long was on the ground himself when
the pension bureau took its first re-
markable action, and, together with
Major Wright, Of the pension bureau,
seemed to be looking carefully after his
interests.
"The papers also show that despite
the fact that the Office medical board
which examined Judge Long on March
q, 1884, only found him entitled TO $50
'per month, which defeated any right
Of his to an increase, for no was then
In receipt OF $50 per month pension, in
August, 1884, his pension was arbi.
trarily increased by Commissioner Dud.
ley to $50 per month"
Speaking OF the suspension Of pen.
sions, ex.Commander-in-Chief Palmer,
OF the G. A. r, who is in the city, says:
~ have always said that ii a man were
on the pension rolls frauduiently be
should be summarily cut of, but be.
lieve that there have been gross exag-
gerations Of the number Of people who
were drawing pensions they were not
fairly entitled to-"

SITUATION ON wAuu sTRllT,
Conditions stIl Easy-The Most Serious
Factor,

New York, July 24.-!The banks re-
ported the conditions as fairly easy,
and to some extent better, inasmuCh as
tho demands for accommodation were
light, The most notable demands for
assistance to-day we're from Ohio, The
orders for currency to-day were light,
The Indications to-day were that a
considerable amount OF currency was
being received from Rome sections OF
the country by the banks OF this city,
but that 1t, was being Offset by ship
menta to other places. From the de.
Wands received to-day from Ohio and
other places for re.discounts It ia be-
lleved that the shipments OF currency
to those sections this week will be heavy.
Tho banks asking for accommodation
are providing themselves against runs
as tho wave Of distrust sweeps over
their localities,
The situation in New England is at.
tracing great deal Of attention just
now, especially In regard to tho manu-
factories. At tho office OF Watson &
Gibson, No. 55 Broadway, 1t was said
that there were Rdvices to the effect
that money was practically uulendable
in that city at s per cent aud stocks
were being carried at per cent
81 consider" said Mr.. Gibson. ''the
situation as regards the New England
factories the most serious factor in this
Market" Several banks this morning
reported their inability to make collec-
tions in Philadelphia or obtain ,pay-
ment of the large balances they. have to
their credit with some banks in that
city.
The ahipmeuta of currency by the
banks to the interior to-day amounted
to $l,500000. OF this sum S40O, 900 was
obtained at the sub-treasury in ex.
change for large bills. Most OF the
money went to Cincinnati and Indian.
apolis. Some money went to Chicago
and ST. Louis.

THE KING OF SIAM.
for he

French, who are now threatening to
bombard, may be in Bangkok. The
king 10 40 years old, has reigned
since he was 15, is absolute monarch Of
about 7, 100000 people, has about sixty
wives and can have aa many more aa he
likes, has an income Of SIC, 900, 900, and
his full name is Somditch Phra Para
minde Maha Khoulalonkorn.
And yet he is not happy. He is the
most progressive rulor Siam has ever
had, has already introduced many 70.
forms and adopted many western ideas,
and is anxious to do more, but there is
trouble on both sides Of his kingdom.
The British recently annexed Butmah,
which brings them very close to him on
the west, and the French, having an
nexed Anam and oil the rest Of
the southern part Of the penin-
sula, have got up quarrel about tho
houndaries, They claim all tho territory
up to the MeKong river, because 1t for
merly belonged 10 AEarn, and because
its occupied by wild tribes which Siam
cannot control. Siam claims The NOUN
tains south OF the MeKong, as she
drove tho Anamese out Of that valley o
century ago. So King Khouiaionkorn
!, as no is usually called, and his 70OO,:
900 people have suddenly become OF
great Importance to Europe.
