tempts Suicide.

macher, farmer living nine miles
southeast of here, murdered his wife
and three children Saturday night and
made an unsuccessful attempt to take
his own life. The deed was not discov-
cred until Sunday afternoon. Nons-
macher told the coroner today that his
crops were poor and he was afraid of
starving. His wife's parents were in
Quebec. where they had come all the
way from Germany and wanted money
and he had none to send. He
waited until all were asleep
Saturday night, then, taking
an ak, killed his wife with three blows
on the temple, then went into the next
room and killed Joseph, years old, and
Willie, years old. He struck both
boys on the head twice. Returning to
the room where his wife lay, he picked
up the year-old baby, held her in one
arm and crushed in her head with the
ak. He then went to the barn. climbed
onto the roof and jumped 20 feet to the
floor of pig stye, sustaining injuries to
his spine and paralyzing his lower ex-
tremities. On Sunday afternoon his
brother came from an adjoining farm
and made the awful discovery. The
murderer has been taken to Amigo and
placed in Jail, but probably will not live

Apologies Made in the Commons for
Thursday Nights Row.
LONDON, July 31.-In the commons
tonight, Hunter, Liberal, asked if the
assaults committed Thursday evening
should be allowed to pass without pun
ishment inflicted upon offenders also
what action would be taken if he moved
for committee of investigation. Glad
stone said he would answer tomorrow.
Fisher, Conservative, who started the
first fight, arose and expressed deep re-
gret for the part he took. He thought
Logan intended to assault him or Car
son. Logan emphatically denied that
he had any intention of assault, and
deeply regretted being concerned in the
affair. Gladstone said the explanation
was satisfactory and he hoped the mat
ter would be allowed to drop. Balfour
and Mccarthy also expressed satisfac.
tion, but MCCARTHY protested against
the idea that the row was due to Irish
men.

have the prosecution Of their various
libel cases taken out of the hands of
District Attorney Cochrane, and to have

ecution, and the court postponed decid-
ing on the Dismissal of the cases until

the market for all sorts of feeding stuffs.
Sales of English wheat included new
samples. The first sales were made at
sos per quarter, but later there were
transactions at prices ranging from 28s
to 32s. Foreign wheats are dull. In

By the Associated Press
PARIS, July 31.-It is stated on high
authority that France intends to take
decisive steps to insure Slams carrying
out the terms of the ultimatum. The
blockade will be continued untikFrance's
demands are satisfied. A prominent
Paris merchant who owns warehouse
in Bangkok in an interview today ex-
pressed the opinion that decisive action
was necessary to restore the prestige
which France enjoysd in Siam after the
adoption of the commercial treaty of
1880. French trade has recently de-
clined heavily, he said, in consequence
OF English and German enterprise and
intrigues to destroy French influence.
FRANCE DEMANDS SECURITY.
LONDON, July 31.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the News says it is learned
on good authority that France demands
security from Siam that the terms of the
ultimatum will be carried out; tenn
porary custody of Chantaboon, town
near the gulf of Siam; also that Siam
shall maintain no military stations in
certain named places near the frontier
of Cambodia, or within a certain dis.
tance of the Mekong river.
SECOND BLOCKADE.
A dispatch from Bangkok dated Mon
day, D. M. says: Business among the
people, far from lessening, ia increasing.
Seven more French gunboats have ar
rived. Negotiations are still going on,
but the progress made is not reported.
The intentions OF the French are
awaited with fear and apprehension.
Admiral Human has issued a second
blockade notice to take effect three days
from Saturday. He will order the Brit
ish warships Pallas and Swift, now ly-
ing off Bangkok, to 90 outside the block
ade limits. Unless the French govern
ment interposes quickly, an attack on
Bangkok seems certain.
NEUTRAL ZONE.
The Standards Paris correspondent
says: sowing to the representation
made to Develle by Lord Dufferin, the
question Of neutral zone between the
French possessions In the Siameee PEN
insula and Britieh Burmah and the
Shan states has been settled satisfacto-
rily. 1t has been agreed that the
French blockade of the Siamese coast
shall be raised Immediately"
No confirmation of this was received
up to late hour tonight.
THE BUFFER STATE MAINTAINED.
The Posts Paris correspondent says
A lengthy conference between Dufferin
and Develle, resulted in a friendly en-
tente permitting Siam to be main
tanned as buffer between the
British and French possessions.
France abandons the ceded parts
to which England lays claim
as having formed part of Burmah. Eng
land agrees to the necessity OF an accu-
rate adjustment of the Siamese frontier
in relation to Tonquin and Anam.

The Low Water Mark Once More Takes

CHICAGO, July S1.-There was another
slump in wheat today and the previous
records are left far in the rear, as Sep
tember sold "a cents below the lowest
point Saturday. The decline was SUBJ
sequently recovered. One of the chief
reasons for the drop was the fact that
Lyon & Hulburt, large longs in wheat,
found it impossible to respond to margin
calls and ordered their wheat sold out.
Their long line is supposed to be from
100000 to 100000, on which the
losses are supposed to be from to ID
cents per bushel. The firm says it will
pay every dollar as soon as it can realize
on collaterals.
