ROSEBERRY,S ATTITUDE.

His COnciliatOriness is Ascribed to
His knowledge of the Discussions
in the French Cabinet.
LONDON, July 2s-The conciliatory at
titude of Lord Roseberry, British foreign
minister, Is ascribed to his knowledge of
the French cabinet dissensions and to as.
surances he has received from the French
ministers, who are in favor of using mod
Grafton in the treatment of Siam.
Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary score
tary of the Foreign ofice, in replying to a
question asked by Sir Charles Dixie in
the house of commons to day, said that
the question as to the effect on British
trade of the French blockade of the Siam
csc coast was being discussed by the
foreign Office officials and the law officers
of the government.
Sir Edward added that Lord Dufferin,
the British ambassador to France, had tel
e9raphed yesterday to the foreign Office
that M Develle, the French foreign minis
ter, had informed him that the blockade
would begin On July 81. Later in the
day Captain Jones, the British minister tc
Siam, had sent G cable dispatch from
Bangkok announcing that the blockade
had commenced on July 20. Captain
Jones' statement was afterward confirmed
by the naval officer commanding at Singa
pore. Three days had apparently been
allowed for neutral vessels to leave Bang
kok. The government, Sir Edward con
cluded, had telegrsphed to Paris for
prompt explanation of the seeming dis
crepancy in the time of establishing tn,
blockade

THE DAY is SET.

The International Yacht Races for
the Americas Cup VIII be Sailed
October S.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-The announce
ment was made to day that the date of the
international yacht races for the Americas
cup had been officially fixed for October 5.
Considerable uncertainty had heretofore
existed as to the exact date of these races,
and it was matter of doubt in the minds
of the special committee whether to inau-
gurste the races September 90 or % or
October 5.
Lord Dunrsven did not know definitely,
and it was because of his request to II.
Maitland Kersey of the White Star line,
received by that gentleman yesterday, that
the cup committee of the New York Yacht
club finally determined upon October as
the date.
"Tbis is a very important action of the
committee" said ex Commodore Smith to-
day, "as 1t places beyond dispute the date
of the international races. The papers
have had cablegrams saying Dunraven
would leave England for this country Au-
gust 10 in order to see the trial races of
our cup defenders. He will do nothing of
the kind, and will reach here only few
DAYS prior to the real races"

MANCHESTER, N. h, July 2S.-Nothing
is known here as to the whereabouts of
Charles F. Morrill,, late cashier of the
National Bank of the Commonwealth, and
treasurer of the Derryfeld Savings Bank
and Trust company, against whom there
are grave charges. The officials who alone
know the exact condition of affairs are
close mouthed and will give out no infor-
nation here. Their examination is still In
progress.
Mrs. Morrill, said to-day that MIR. Morrill,
had gone to Lowell to visit friend there,
as his presence was not necessary here, and
he needed rest after the excitement of the
pact few days. Inquiry by the lowell
friend by telephone, however, brought the
reply that Mr.. Morrill, was not there and
had not been seen for a week. His wife
asserts that his accounts are straight and
that If any explanations are necessary he
will be on hand to make them. His bonds
men have not made any attempt as yet to
locate him and do not appear greatly
troubled over his absence.
CONCORD, N. H., July 2S.-The Derry
field Savings Bank and Trust company. of
Manchester, which has been under temper
airy suspension since the closing of the
National Bank of the Commonwealth, with
which 1t was connected, were epjoined to-
night from transacting business by Bank
Commissioner Lyford. These two fnstitu-
ttons are new to Manchester, neither hsv-
ing been running more than a year. At
the time of the organization the active Off
GERS desired to have savings bank con-
nected, and found an unused charter of
the Merrimsck Mortgage and Dsbenture
company, which gave authority to do q
savings bank business.
The stockholders had not had banking
experience, but relied upon the bank train
ing of Charles F. Morrill,. He was elected
treasurer of the new savings bank, as we'll
as cashier of the National Bank of the Com
monweslth. The directors of the Merri-
mac Mortgage company voted to make
their capital stock of 500, 900, all of which
was paid in. The company then opened
for the reception of deposits and accumu-
lated over $l00, 900 In six months. At the
last session of the legislature they got the
name changed.

THEY WANT AN APPEAL.

Resolutions Adopted by the Coal Club
OF Boston Denouncing the Sherman
Law.
BOSTON, July 2s.-At the meeting of the
Coal club the following were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, We, the Coal club of Boston,
in meeting assembled, believe that the sec.
lions of the so-called Sherman law COMPEL
ing the government to purchase a stated
amount of silver each month are largely
| responsible for the present distrust in
| financial and mercantile circles; and,
Whereas, We believe that the repeal of
that part of said law would do much
| toward averting the evils already threat
| ening our commercial interests, and would
tend largely to restore confidence, both al
home and abroad, in our monetary system;
therefore,
Resolved, That we do earnestly request
congress to repeal, at as early q date a:
possible, the compulsory silver purchase
section of the Sherman law.
