OF the gulf. There is little doubt among
isvrorgH1TuJux IL IL ruc luIonrIuu OF JfIe
French to make Siam a French colony,
and unless England intervenes there ID
iflittle hope that the French will desiat
from extreme measures, although it ia
we'll known to them that the govern
ment of Siam is exceedingly anxious to
avoid war. Ns
The general expectation in Bangkok
is that early in August the French fleet
will attack Bangkok and land 5000 men.
THE DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
LONDON, July 27.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette says this evening it Learns from
high authority that the Franco-Siamese
difficulty has been settled. France has
agreed to accept Slams proposals and
will abandon her claims to territory be.
tween the 18th and 23d parallels.
Sir Charles Dixie said this evening
that he believed Dufferin and Develle
had reached an agreement by which
France will abandon her claims to the
Upper Mekong.
The Standards Paris correspondent
also gathers that Develle and Dufferin
have agreed to q compromise on the
frontier.
WHAT CHINA WILL DO.
The Pekin correspondent of the stand
ard says: "While not likely to attempt
to enforce her Suzerian rights so long as
the scene OF conflict Is limited to the
Menam and the lower Mekong, can
state positively on the highest au tbority
that China ia fully determined to up
hold her dominion on the upper Me-
kong"
ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.
In the house of lords this evening
Rosebery announced that he could not
make full statement regarding the
Siamese matter until a report was re-
ceived from Lord Dufferin in Paris.
From the outset Great Britain had con-
fined itself to providing for the safety of
British lives and interests in Bangkok.
1t had from the beginning avoided Civ
ing advice to Siam beyond occasions
when she asked for it, but had urged
her to make terms as quickly as posi-.
BILE with her powerful neighbor. Never
theless the British government was not
indifferent to the events now passing in
Siam. Her great commercial interests
there would be looked after. A block
ade might raise some questions of in
ternational law, but Great Britain was
not yet formally advised of it and per-
haps the necessity might be averted.
The government was glad to believe
that France was no less alive than
Great Britain to the value of Siamese
independence, regarding it as matter
of import that France and Great Brit
tain should not have coterminous from
tiers, because that would involve great
military expenditures and create liabil-
itv to panic.
In the commons, Sir Edward Grey
made a similar statement.
FRANCES INTENTIONS.
PARIS, July 27.-After conference

tional dignity created by Slams atti-
tude. frances rule OF action will be

HOME RULE BILL.
The Financial Terms of the Bill Are
Substantially Arranged.

The Financial Terms OF the Bill Are
Substantially Arranged.
LONDON, Jan. ia cabinet council
lasting three hours was held yesterday,
and 1t was rumored that the friction be-
tween members OF the cabinet as to the
details OF the Home Rule bill showed a
considerable augmentation since the last
meeting. The financial terms OF the bill
are said, however, to be substantially ar
ranged.
In the first Home Rule bill, the ratio Of
lreland's contributions to the Imperial
exchequer was one-fifteenth, totalling
fS,242 900 per annum. This estimate was
based on valuation OF property in Great
Britain and Ireland, ratios of income tax,
and properties in which the death duties
were assessed. Parnell accepted the es-
innate, while protesting against its in
justice and inaccuracy.
The new proposals, based upon Juster
data, will make Ireland's contribution
only one twenty-third, equalling f2,070,-
800 per annum. Another important feat
ure Is that a loan shall be granted from
the Imperial TO the Irish exchequer, to
enable the Irish administration to start
fair. The more reasonable of the Irish
party will hesitate before opposing this
financial scheme. The demands OF the
Redmond section that Ireland's contribu-
tion should be only f1 600, 900 will not be
entertained by Mr.. Gladstone.

Trial OF the Police Onicials In New York
City.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE trials of the
police officials against whom charges OF
neglect OF duty were made last week by
Supt. Byrnes, were before the police COM
missioners yesterday. The first cases
called were those of Inspector william,
and Capt. Doherty. They pleaded not
guilty.
Supt. Byrnes made a statement setting
forth that Williams and Doherty had per-
mitted gambling to be carried on az
places in East 14th street and the Bowery.
which were raided on Jan. 3 by officers
under the direction of the superintend-
ept.
Stokes and Livingstone. the alleged
proprietors OF the Bowery este blish-
ment, testified that no gambling had gone
on In their house for year past After
hearing several other witnesses the COM
missioners went into secret session and
at the end OF an hour and a half, decided
that the charges preferred by the superin-
tendent were true, but as the first and
second inspection districts each covers n
large territory, the inspectors must RELY
on the statements and reports made By
They, therefore, found the in
spectors not guilty.
In the cases OF Captains Stevenson,
Westervelt and Doherty, the board found
that the captains were negligent In the
discharge OF their duties. The captains
were severely censured and reprimanded.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Messrs. Coombs
and Patterson have practically completed
their report to the House special commit
tee on the investigation into the Read
Ing anthricite coal combination. The re-
port will show that the aim of the combi
nation Is to drive out independent coal
operators and obtain complete control of
the anthracite coal industry and that il Il
sought to do this by fixing high freight
rate on coal so as TO make il profitable Tor
individuals to turn in their product at
the mines to the combination.
The report will recommend the passage
OF the bill heretofore agreed upon by the
commerce committee, which gives the in
terstate commerce commission power To
keep down freight rates. II was contem-
plated to recommend legislation for the
divorce OF the transportation and coal
producing industries, but the two gentle
men found 1t impracticable by constitu-
tional means To deal effectively with this
matter, though OF opinion that IL Is really
the most efficacious remedy possible.

Charges of Corruption Against Russian
Press Declared False.
PARIS, Jan. 17.--Before the parliament
say commission of inquiry yesterday NJ.
Souvoride and NJ. Tatischeff testified as to
the charges OF corruption against the
Russian press. M. Souvoride, who intro
duced himself as editor of the Novoe
Vremja, protested that NJ. Delahayes'
charges as to the receipt OF 100000 francs
by that newspaper from the Panama peo-
pie, were falsehoods. Neither he nor any
OF his fellow journalists In Russia, as far
as he knew, had touched q centime OF
Panama money.
M. Tatischeff made similar denial. He
declared that the friendship OF Russia and
France was imperiled by "this rising
tide OF calumny." Unless the commits
sion would defend Russia against palpab bic
ISLANDERS, the most deplorable results
might be expected.
The Marquis de Castellane has come out
with denial of the report that he was
payee OF Panama check for 1000 900
francs.
There are rumors that proceeding,
against Deputies Roche, Rouvier and
Arene and Senator Thevenst will BE-
stopped and they will be discharged for
