POOR LITTLE SIAM.

Bangkok, July 29.-The Siamese gov
ernment has accepted the full terms Of
tho French ultimatum
paris. July 29-In view of the Slam
ese action in acceding to the terms of
the ultimatum it is expected that
France will withdraw the notice OF
blockade and accept Slams surrender.
It is understood that the provinces on
the upper Mekong will be subject of
future negotiations between France
and Great Britain
A semi official statement was given
to the press this evening saying that
Siam's acceptance gives complete sat
isfaction to France and all who are
not desirous of making the Siamese
difficulty an occasion of fresh colonial
enterprise, The statement adds: "The
French government, desiring to give
proofs Of its good will to Siam will
probably not raise further objections in
the affair" Another semiofiicial state
ment says the public will find proof
that Great Britain has not intervened
lie Jour accepts the statement with a
grain of salt. 1t says something has
been done behind the scenes and the
French are likely to awake soon to
the fact that Great Britain, after all,
has got the better Of them in diplo
matte negotiations.

MORE FAILURES IN PORTLAND.
Three Strong Banks Suspend Payment
To-Day.
NO ULTIMATE LOSS FEARED
The Commercial National, the Portland
Savings and Ainsworth national
Close Their Doors.
Special to The AstorIan.

Special TO Ine AstOrlan.
Portland, July 29.-Noon Two
National banks and one Savings insti-
tuition failed to open their doors this
morning. The Commercial National
and the Portland Savings are kindred
concerns, and the embarrassment OF
the one, naturally Included the Grip
pllng of its dependant The other
National bank, the Ainsworth, was re-
garded as altogether out OF reach OF
any possible panic.
The Commercial National of which
Frank Delsum is president, has paid
up capital of $25O,0OO and surplus and
undivided profits amounting to $24O,OOO'
The Portland Savings is under the
same management, L. L. Hawkins
president; its paid up capital Is $225'
900: undivided profits 100000; and de-
posits, about 100000.
The Ainsworth National has a capital
stock of 100000, a surplus of 100000;
resources, according to the published
statement of the 18th, instant $6S7OOO;
deposits $447OOO.
The Commercials deposits according
to the statement made on the same
day, were $1,455,O 900; resources $1,95O,OOO'
There was no reason for the closing
of the doors of these banks except that
they could not realize on their securl-
ties. which are ample even at panic
selling prices to cover all liabilities
Depositors have been largely withdraw
ing for the past six weeks, not because
of any timidity, but IN order to meet
legitimate demands for the discharge
of Indebtedness. This, owing to the
scarcity of money, and impossibility
of getting relief from the East has pre-
cipitated the crisis. None of the other
banks were affected today. There was
slight run on the First National, but
1t did not amount to much, the with
drawals being Insignificant.
All the depositors and creditors of the
suspended banks WIN be paid in full as
soon as the ample resources can be
made available, and all three will prob
ably resume business within a few days
d. p. Thompson was appointed re
ceiver of the Portland Savings bank
this afternoon. A statement of this
banks condition shows resources estl
mated at $2,95O,OOO, which is considered
conservative estimate; it's liabilities
are placed at $2,475,OOO. During the
last sixty days there has been a shrink
age of 100000, while $SOO,OOO fave
been withdrawn from the Commercial
National during the same period The
Commercial National paid out 100000
yesterday.
A small bank at Forest Grove has
closed owing to the Commercial Nat
ionals suspension,
A statement of the Union Banking
company, which closed yesterday,
shows assets of $9S,OOO liabilities $5S,
900; the city has claim Of $500 and
is principal creditor.
At p. M, the closing hour all was
quiet at the banks, the slight run
having been promptly met
