FRANCE AND SIAM.

The causes which iduced France
20 reach the present crisis with the
Siamese government are (aside
from the natural desire to acquire
valuable territory briefly these =;
The French claimed that subjects
Of Siam crossed the border into
Anamese territory and slew some
Frenchmen the Siamese seized q
French ship, the Say, and used 1T
70 prevent navigation Of stream.
Following, the French attempted
ascent Of the Menam river, which
was resisted By the Siamese forts.
At this stage of the game France
demanded indemnity on the three
seDarate counts-insult TO the flag,
the Ioss Of the Say, and the death
o,f =ubiects in Anam. Siam enter
ed a strong disclaimer, and prom
ised to pav all reasonable damages
and France, fearing that the chance
she was seeking, namely the unjust
ACQUISITION Of Siamese territory,
would pass away, made further
demand, which was that the bound
ary between Anam and Siam should
come further down the Mekong
river. Protest was entered against
this demand as not being in the
treaty call, but rather than have
war, which France threatened, the
Siamese finally yielded and gave
the foreigners territory along
the Mekong river az far as the
eighteenth parallel. Even this
concession did not satisfy France,
and a further claim which reached
10 the Burmese territory quickly
followed. To accede to this theft
would take from Siam all the valu-
able land between the lower bank
Of the stream and the range separ-
ating Siaunese possessions from
Bjrmah. The refusal Of Siam
brings the situation down to the
present moment and within the
knowledge Of every ones. +.

The next session of the State Normal

Of October, and it promises to be as
successful as any of its predecessors, or
perhaps more so. This school is among
the best in the South, and considering
there is no charge for tuition, the at
tendance at this term will no doubt be
larger than that of any previous year.
