thinks the Siamese will be supplied by
England with all the arms they need.
The majority of the Paris newspapers
devote as much space to the denuncia-
lions Of England as to the matter Of the
siamese trouble. England Is reproached
BY all the French newspapers.
The extreme conservative radical

q rest to the historic fre-eaters on both

The Standards leader on France and
Siam contains this passage: Tho terms
that France is trying to impose on Siam
would be understandable II. any court of
international morality. The remarkable
experience, which we gained from the
occupation Of Tunis, of the methods OF
French diplomacy. forbids us to accept
too confdingly the published program of

pendenee OF this buffer state. We can
not remain inactive in the face Of
Frances preparations for contrary

STRIKERS RESORT TO FORCE.
Guns, Pistols and Clubs Freely Used
at Weir City-severa1 Persons
Wounded.

WEIR CITY, Kan, July 22.-The ex-
pected crisis has come in the Kansas
miners strike. Miners who were will
ing to work have been attacked by the
strikers, and blood has been shed. The
feeling which has been growing more
and more bitter for several days, cul-
minated in a fierce battle at Clements
pit, one mile south of this city. All the
forenoon there were mutterings of the
approaching storm, and the feeling was
universal that serious trouble was at
hand.
Just before noon band of 500 men,
headed by 100 women, which had been
marching to the various strip pits,
reached Clements pit, and committee
tried to persuade the miners there to
quit work. This they refused to do, and
when the committee reported, the entire
body of marchers moved on to the works
to force the men out. The strip men
were ready for them, and when they had
passed the trespass line, they were fired
upon, and a general battle ensued, in
which Winchesters, pistols and clubs
were used.
Over 100 shots were fired and it is
nothing short of miracle that nobody
was killed. One man was injured in
the forehead, another in the leg, a boy
was shot in the foot, and one of the wo-
men got ball through her arm. None
of the injuries are fatal, and it is be-
ieved that none of them are dangerous.
A number on both sides were badly
beaten up with clubs and dubbed guns.
AS result Of the battle, the men in the
strip pit were routed by the strikers and
were forced to flee for their lives, pur-
sued by the bowling mob, which would
have lynched them had they been
caught.

the stories of them are largely subjective,
and some of them are not free from the

1t is maintained very stoutly
by expert electricians that
the storage battery is, after all,
a success for commercial work; that the
new processes for manufacturing them
have cheapened their cost, and that in

and economical. 1t is estimated that $S5

Chief Bushyhead is an object of a
great deal of attention when he visits
eastern cities. 1t is his custom, when
he goes to New York, Washington and
other points, to "hide out" from the re-

after him.
On the occasion above referred to,

very pleasing to his listeners. He
was in New York, and had successfully

days. Finally" he said ga Herald

half an hour on general topics, when he
left, assuring me that our talk was in
formal and not to be published. The
next morning Il got hold of copy of
the paper and there was two-column

I read along into the middle of the
second column and could find no fault
with the article; but the latter part
was .astunner. The reporter printed
a question put to me, inquiring my
views about the final obliteration of the
Indian tribes and the recovery of our
rich lands by the whites. Then came
the funny part He made me JUMP. to
my FEET, give war whoop, rip out a
dirk from my boot top and hurl an
athemas upon government that would
thus attempt to rob my people of lands
that were justly their own. That scene,
as described by the reporter, would do
credit to the yellow back literature of
the present day. OF course nothing of
the kind happened, but it gave the Her

reporters to crowd into my hotel for
