THAT CONFLICT

BANGKOK IS BLOCKADED
Such Is the Contradictory News
From Slam What Is Said OF
the Trouble by English
Statesmen.

LONDON. July 97H-The Pal Mall Ga.
.si'e says this evening that it learns from
high authority that the Franco Siamess
difficulty has been settled. France has
agreed to accept Slams proposals and
abandon all claims to the territory ne-
tween the Is h and 2Irl parallels. In tho
house of lords this evening Lord Rose
berry announced that he could not make
full statement regarding the Siamese
matter uutil a report is received from
Lord Dui'crin in Paris. From the outset
Great Britain had confined itself
To providing for the safety OF
British lives and interests ia
Bangkok. II had, from the
beginning, avoided giving advice to Siam
beyond the occasions when she had asked
for it, but had urged her to make terms as
quickly as possible with her powerful
neigh5or. Nevertheless, the British gov
ernnicnt was not indifferent to the events
now passing IA Siam. Her great CONNER
ciai interests there would be looked after.
The blockade might raise some questions
Of international law, but Great Britain
has not yet been formally advised OF
II, and perhaps the necessity might

glad to believe that France -

is under orders TO join the French Meds-

also stated that those OF the Russian war

orders which may cause Them to continue

the orders had any connection with the
Siamesc cmhroglio, profcssed entire i--

by a peculiar shrug of the shoulders. The

Thousands to Desperation.
DENVER. July 27.-The lynching of
the Italian, Arata, last night has shown
the immense crowd OF idle workmen mt
present in Denver what can be accom-
plished by violence, and there is dread in
the minds of many citizens lest a mob of
enormous size, having for its purpose the
looting of the city, may break out
at any time. Thousands of un-
employed workmen already here are
being augmented daily by others through
out the state, who are gradually working
their way To Denver. The county and
city have numerous charity organiLa-
tions aud are doing their best To feed and
shelter the great army OF penniless peo-
pie, but they are incapable of meeting all
the demands. The banks of the city havo
called upon the United States troops AT
Fort Logan, where there are 100 men, to
he ready 10 protect their institutions in
case of an outbreak. Some of the banks arc
United States Repositories and thus have
the right TO ask the government for pro-
lection. The unemployed members OF the
state militia and the Chaffee Light urtil-
lery are now under arms at the arinory,
awaiting Developments. Mayor Van Horn
has issued proclamation requesting all
good citizens not to congrogate on the
streets. as it may lead to an outbreak.

Types of bad Men.

The wonder grows whence sprang
these men, who, with pistols on both
hips and knives in their belts, were
ever eager for some fray, and when no
one could be found to accommodate
them picked quarrel and then killed
their fellow-men
The peculiar dangers that attend the
pursuit of gold seem to bring out, in
enormous degree. all the latest vicious
ness in man, and the interest is, where
did such men hide themselves when i'm
more peaceful parts, or did the mere
sight OF the precious metal or the in
satiable greed to obtain it transform a
respectable citizen into an animal in
contrast with whom Il royal Bengal
tiger would be Sociable and almost
companionable?
l asked this question. says Il writer
in the San Francisco Chronicle. of III.
j. Crow, of Los Angeles, one of th"
most prosperous and adventurous bllSi
ness men, who had founded Idaho CITY
and had followed mining in many
States and Territories. about the char
actcristics of these bad men, and
whence they came.
You could generally bet on it," said
MIR. Crow, that they were from the
Southern States, and seemed to have
had dark experiences before they had
penetrated into the mines. As Il rule
they were lazy men. possessed with al
most animal strength, and were utterly
devoid of rcmorSe. Indeed, these men
and L have known several-appar-
emily felt that they owed nothing to
society and had no responsibility |

day and heard one say to the other:
We'll, Jim, go ahead; I'll meet YOU
in h in minute and when il came
his turn to swing he shouted, Three
cheers for Jeff Davis They actually
feared nothing, and held their own
lives as cheaply as they took others.
Where these men disappeared after tho
mines gave out, or whether they ever
became peaceable citizens, l cannot
say. l know several have adopted the
latter role, but it would take very little
provocation to make them as blood
thirsty as when they sought victims in

And thousands had sunk on the ground

When rcposing that night on my pallet Of
straw,
BY the wof-scaring fagots that guarded
the slain.
AT the dead of the night a sweet vision I

Far far | had roamed on a desolate
track.
Till autumn and sunshine disclosed the
sweet way

l flew to the pleasant fields, traverscd so
oft
In lifc's morning march, when my bosom
/ heard my own mountain goats bleating
aloft
And knew the sweet strain that the corn
rcapers sung.
Then pledged we the wine cup, and fondly
| swore
From my home and my weeping friends
My little ones kissed me thousand times

And my wife sobbed aloud in the full
ness of heart,

And fain was the war-broken soldier to
But sorrow returned with the dawning of

And the voice In my dreaming ear melted

Disappearance of the Sardine.

''Where, oh where is the little sar-
dine, where, oh where is he gone"
This slight modification of once pop
ular ditty seems to express the feeling
of the Scottish fisherman for the Sar-
dine, which is simply the young of the
pilchard and was certainly at one time
quite a common fish on the east coast
of Scotland, is not now a regular in
habitamt of the Scottish seas. In re-
sponsc to inquiry the fishery officers of
fourteen of the seventeen east coast
districts say that pilchards are never
landed in their districts, although II
stray specimen may be got occasionally
in the Moray Firth, off the Firth of
Forth, or in the Firth of Clyde. As late
us the beginning of the present cen
tury they We're as abundant at some
places as the herring, and this gave
rise to complaints by the herring-curerS
when quantities of the pilcharl were
delivered to them mixed with the her
rings. Possibly the pilchard is getting
scarce elsewhere, for large quantities
of other fish are prepared on the con
tincnt and in America as sardincS and
sold as such, and this is especially SD
with the Sprat and young herrinGS.
These facts have led to the suggestion
that Scotch fishermen should turn their
attention to the curing and timing OF
the latter fish, which are abundant on
their coasts.
