promptly seated when his credentials
are presented
Considerable hard feeling was
caused by the all-night session Of the
house, through which Southern mem
bers illibustered against the bill
compelling interstate railroads to use
automatic car couplers. Representa-
tive Watson of Georgia, accused
Richardson of Tennessee, one of the
the lillibusterers, of being actuated
solely by his interest in the railroads
in opposing this bill, and for a time
it looked as though there might be a
personal difficulty between them.
The bill was not voted upon, but an
understanding was reached that it
should be called up Monday under n
suspension of the rules and put upon
its passage. II will require two
birds vote to pass it under sus-
pension of the rules, but it is thought
that it will pass.

Now comes the rub. The Siamese
officers at these forts claim that the
French mail steamers passed way be-
yond the prescribed limits. They were
in the right mood TO show the French
men the range of their latest guns as
well as the skill of their gtInnerS. The
French vessel was made a target and
was soon sent to keep company with
Mr.. McGinty. The gunbOats accom-
panying the sunken vessel opened their
guns on the Siamese batteries and when
the smoke had cleared away nobody
was found TO be hurt. This incident.
however, served Frances purpose in
sending her ultimatum.
There are those who think that this
whole affair is a prcconccrted plan be-
tween France and Great Britain to get
a chance to divide Siam in equal shares
and say nothing about it. Color to
this Is lent by Britain's refusal To in
any way be held responsible for China's
interference. BE this as il may, one

GENERAL VIEW OF BANGKOK,

Of the river, but owing to frequent
invaSicns of cholera, a late king gave
the order to build on the river itself.
The privilege Of ttniifG-lg on the banks
is confined to members Of the royal
family, nobility and residents of pollt-
ical and commercial influence.
The city at night is Enthusiastically IL
Illuminated, being hung with thousands
of colOred lights, lamps and lanterns of
all sizes, shapes and cOlOrS imaginable.
The wonderful play of light on the
pagOdaS, the gold and the silver min
arets and the towers of the grand pal
ace, renders the scene as novel as it
is entiCing.
At noon all is still, and men, women
and children retire for their afternoon
nap. At 8 o'clock the sea breeze is
felt and the inhabitants awaken aud
all is hustle and life, which is kept up
until late at night. OF course every
n owns Il boat or canOc, MS they are
Indispensable, and toward evening the
river is decidedly lively. The nobility
own Il fleet and it usually takes fifty
OarSmen to paddle Il high official. At
night the inhabitants take to the water,
and, in fact, there is no time during the
day but you can see some one in swim
ming.
The streets are few as compared with
the number of canals. The most inter-
eSting one runs parallel with the grand
palace and terminates in what is now
known as the new road running from
Bangkok to Paknam and crossing the
canals on movable iron bridges. Every

and at the close of the wet season
the markets are filed with vegetables
and fruits.
The inhabitants are mild, patient
and submissive to the authority. but
are lazy and lille. ANY business re-
quiring industry or exertiOn is carried
on by the Chinese. The Siamese are
very fond Of amuSements of all kinds.
They are all inveterate gamblers. the
gambling houses being always full. A
man may sell himself, wife, child and
niece. POlygamy is universal. The
position of the women has been called
good. although girls can be sold as
wives.
the king is forty ears old, and has
about eighty children. He is com
PEELED TO a many wives who are the
daughters of his noblemen. And an
old custom is that he also marry his
half-siSters rs no one can ascend the
throne but a celestial prince, and these
can be born only Of the king and a
princess, no woman being a princess
except the daughter Of a king. To
prevent a line OF princes to intrigue
for the throne his brothers are not al
lowed TO marry princesses.
The king is forty years old. and has
very often. He does so, however. on
the birth of n child, or when the infant
is to be named. The women all turn

sidewalks, while the mother greets

Siam to deny the French rights in
these regions. The Frenchmen almost
openly accuse the English Of having
been the cause Of all the trouble. On
the other hand, the Siamese authorities
insist that the French have been the
aggrcssors at every step and sought by
all possible ways to irritate the Siam
government. The great river of Me-
kong, which has figured so much in the
dispatches, is in reality not the most
important for discord. In the
middle of this river is an island called
Khone, which commands the entire
stream. 1t is for the possession of this
island that the French are putting out
their best efforts. without this
island" says a French correspondent,
''the greater part of our territory in
this region would be useless" The
present trouble took definite form
when some time ago three French gun
boats preceded by a mail vessel sailed
up the Menam river and anchored off
