Persian Needle-Work
From Harper's Bazaar.

The difference between Persian and the
needle-wOrk we are accustomed to see
seems to lie in the thOrOughness-sin
cerity, an artist would call it-of the
former. Every stitch is taken in mathe-
NAUTICAL precision, and there is no slight
at any point. The wrong side of the work
is as admirable in its way as the right
side. In some specimens the stitches
cover the design on both sides, the needle
being carried across underneath, as il is
in the embrOidering of China Grape
shawls. On other pieces the needle is put
back toward the wrong side close by the
place il was drawn through, thus throw
ing all the work upon the right side and
leaving wha + looks like beautifully regu-
lar outline-work on the reverse. This
is the method used in working sofa pill
lows, table covers, or anything which
only exposes one side. But for curtains,
handkerchiefs shawls, etc, the double
faced embroidery is invariably used.
A favorite method of this Persian
worker is the introduction of texts or
sentences upon the border or centre of
her pieces. The lettering is so quaint,
, angular, and disconnected that at the
first look it seems like a geometric pat
tern. On one white linen Bile cover,
heavily worked in flowers and foliage
with gray silk, was border of lettering
wrought in gold thread. The characters
were about four inches tall, and the senti-
ment they conveyed, "God is great; God
us good, :" took up,a very short space; but
the text was repeated again and again.

A MILITARY CHARGE.
The Department of Arizona Merged

The Department of Arizona Merged
into the Department of Colorado.
Washington, July President Cleve-
land, before leaving Washington yester-
day signed an order recognizing military
department of Arizona under the name of
the department of Colorado, with head
quarters at Denver. The department of
Arizona consistered of the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona and
that portion of California south
of thirty fifthparellel.
The new order abolished the depart
ment of Arizona and places Arizona, New
Mexico, Utah and Colorado IN the new
department. California is restored to the
department of California, with head
quarters at SanfranciscO. This change
has been urged by the military authori-
ties for years. The headquarters of the
department of Arizona were at Los
Angles placing Gen. McCOok, command
ing the department, at the extreme ives
tern part of his department. This
caused great delay in communicating with
army headquarters at Washington, as all
matters in his section We're
sent to him and by him to Washington.
With his headquarters at Denver he will
be at the extreme east of his department
and in close communication with Wash
ington This, it is believed, will effect
economy in time and money and greatly
facilitate disbursements in supplies and
ammunition. Gen. McCook will command
the new department.

SIAM SURPRISED

Frances Proposal Very Indef-
mite.
BANGKOK, July 26. M. Pavie, the
French minister resident, prior to his
departure, had final interview with
Devawongse, the Siamese foreign min
lister, who said that his government was
astOnished that France considered its
reply to the French ultimatum as a re-
fusal to comply with its terms. 1t
was impossible. he said, to ac-
cept definitely an indefinite proposal.
France had never defined her rights in
AMMAN and Cambodla; but the king,
earnestly desiring peace and a speedy
settlement of the whole case. had de-
clared his readiness to abandon the
AMMAN and CambOdia and all the posts
that had been attacked, as we'll as the
territory near them. including Stung-
treng and Khong, although these places
were admitted to be SiameSe
SAIGON. July 26 Capt. Villiers, who
is in command of the French forces at
Kong, reports that the capture of Fort
DOnson by the French produced an ex-
cellent Impression. The governor of
the island of KOhOng was killed during
the attack, and his death hastened the
retreat of the Siamese. The French
flag had been hOiSted on the island of
Rong Samlem, which will be made the
basis Of future operations. The French
government has also decided to take
possession of other islands in the gulf
of Siam.

claimed by the French as the north

garded it as unlikely that that the black
flags would join the Slamese in the
event of hOstilities with France, but he
thought that If they saw France and
Siam embroiled the black flags might
resume the offensive in Tonquin.
CHERBoURG, July 26.-Ihe French
cruiser Eclaireur has been ordered to
Brest to be fitted out with a new arma-
ment. She will proceed thence TO Siam

LONDON, July ga Paris dispatch

an audience with NJ. Develle this morn
ing. A cabinet council was held at 6
O'Clock this evening, but the greatest
secrecy was maintained as to what took
place at the meeting. Another cabinet
council will be held on Saturday next"
The Temps gives detailed account
of how the French gunboats forced a
passage up the Menam river. The gun
boat entered the channel about 6 o'clock
in the evening. and immediately both
forts and the Siamese gunboats opened
fire on the French war ships. The
French gunbOats crossed the bar, not
withstandlng the explosion of sub
marine torpedo directly ahead of the
fleet. The Inconstante rammed and,
sunk a Siamese gunboat. About 9
o'clock the forts at Pakan opened fire
at range of one-quarter of mile. The
French gunbOats all this time were
making ten knots an hour against the
stream. Al $50 O'Clock the French feet
anchored in front of the French legation
at Bangkok. The cannonade had little
effect owing 10 the darkness"

Merchants Indicate Injury to Be
Inflicted by Blockade.
LONDON, July 26.-Lord Rosebery
has summoned Lord Roberts, recently
commander-in-chiefi in India, to the fol-
eign Office to consult him on the posi-
ton of affairs in Siam. A private tele-
gram from Bangkok announces that the
British gunboat Pigmy has replaced the
Swift before Bangkok for the protection
of British residents. England has an
adequate fleet on the East India and
China stations, numbering twenty-eight
vessels. including the Imperieuse. a
cruiser of 1890 tons. France can only
muster nineteen vessels, of which the
largest is only 1900 tons. 1t is believed
that NJ. Deveile hopes that his pacific
blockade will induce Siam to surrender
at discretion. Should Siam still resist
and the blockade be made effective,
British interests would suffer severely.
The London merchants interested in
the Samese trade have forwarded a
joint letter to Lord Rosebery, pointing
to the injury which would be inflicted
by the blockade upon Singapore and
Hong Kong. These colonies would be
come dependent on Saigon for supplies
of rice, and thus France will have an
interest in beneiting Cochin China
by prolonged blockade. which prob
ably would produce a famine, perhaps
native revolt at Singapore.

sixty years old, member of the G. A.
H., over the price of a glass of
beer. Tonight Aratta was taken
from the county Jail by mob
led by Lightfoot's son, strung up
TO tree and his body riddled with bull
lets. The crime was inexcusable. the
punishment swift. All day there had,
been mutterings among the friends OF
the murdered man, and at an early hour
tonight small crowd collected in the
rear of the Windsor hotel on
Market street. 1t grew in num-
bers until there were several
hundred determined men. In silence
ana military order the crowd marched
through the business portion of the city
past the city jail and to the county iail.
across Cherry creek. Here a demand
was made for the Italian from
JalIer Crews. He refused to give
up his prisoner. when the mob.
which was well provided with
picks and iron bars, began an attack on
the front door of the jail. The build
ing Is new, and was thought strong
enough/to resist any attacks which
might be made upon it. Gradually the
crowd grew until probably 10000
people surrounded the jail. Sheriff
Burchinell was outside i'm the
crowd trying to prevent violence. but
no attention was paid to his command
or entreaties. Capt. Crews, in charge of
the Jail. instructed the guards to fire
over the heads of the mob to awe il. bnt
no attention was paid to his firing.
After few hours of picking and
hammering entrance was made to the
corridor. Capt. Crews then saw
that he had the alternative OF
shooting down few men or Surrender
ing the Italian, and he chose the latter.
AFatta was taken out to a neighboring
tree and strung up and his body filed
with bullets. In the melee in the iaiI /,
one member of the mob was shot in the
leg but not dangerously wounded. The
vengeance of the mob did not end with
the shooting. The body was taken
down. dragged through the streets by
the rope with which it was hanged.

NEBRAskA's LEADER.
The Young Democratic Congress
man on the Coming Silver Fight.

TIE Young Democratic Congress-
man on the Coming Silver Fight.
OMAHA, Neb., July 26.-Congressman
Bryan. in an interview today as to the
future of Democracy in Nebraska. said
that the greatest danger at present to
the party arose from the doubt enter
tained as to its attitude OF the money
question. 1t IS now by common cou-
sent the paramount issue.a the action
of Democrats in the state would have
much to do with the question of whether
the party grew or declined.
Last spring many opposed an ex-
preston on the subject lest it should
embarrass the national convention. and
now many fear that to take stand will
embarrass themselves in their candl-
dacY for office, or that it Will embarfass
the administration. The Western wing
of the party is not restrained by any
such fears. 1t is openly aggressive, and
if our Eastern friends speak out while
we hold our peace. our interests will be
disregarded.
In this battle of the standards is
being fought the great contest between
plutocracy and democracy, and, in nv
judgment. the future Of the Democratic
party depends upon which side it takes.
Nebraska is but one state, but she is re-
sponsible for the right investment of her
influence, whether it be much or little. -
"Is there any way of relieving the
present financial stringency?" Mr..
Bryan was asked.
Yes" was the reply. Let the peo-
pie put their money back in the banks.
Oul banks are good. Their assets far
exceed their liabilities, and there is no
danger if the people would recover
from the scare. 1t is not safe to keep
money at home. Where the banks are
shown TO be good, let the money be put
back. 1t can then be loaned and busi-
ness will revive. l think it is time,
too, when the banks should consider the

to which both France and Siam laid
claim, but of which Siam mad held un-
disputed possession for sixty years,
while the French or Annamese
claim to 1t was never heard of
until it was put forward by the
French within the past ten years. The
indemnity covers also the cases of the
Annamese soldiers in French uniform
who were killed by Siamese troops on
the same territory. Next the ultimatum
requires that this territory shall be
abandoned forthwith by Siam to France,
as the inheritOr of AMMAN and in virtue
of claim which AMMAN has never, in
the memory of living men, tried to
make good and has never even asserted.
1t also requires Siam 10 give up to
France, as the representative of Cam
bodIa, the provinces to which the
Siamese title, as against the Cambodian
tltle.was formally recognized by France
i'll 1868. And, as a guarantee of the
good faith of Siam in carrying out these
demands, it further requires that Siam
shall surrender to France further sum
OF 5000, 900 or assign TO France public
revenues to that value. The French
minister of foreign affairs expresses his
confidence that the Siamese will yield
to all these demands because they know
that France has the power to enforce
them,
