FLINT GLASS SCALE.

The Wage Negotiations Bogun-somo
Changes, but no Trouble Likely.
PIrrsDuR0H, Pa, August l, The
American Flint Glassworliors' Union

with tho manufacturers. Rates for thir.
teon departments are to DO fixed and
tho conferences will lastfully two weeks,

plying to the pressed ware workers. 1t
will likely DO settled and put aside
when tho committee meets tomorrow.
Tho manufacturers did not mako any
demands for changes in the rates now
in vogue and wore willing to sign the
last year scale. The workers, however,
proposed al tSrations and n general re.
adjustment 81 the wage bases.
Tho change they desired invol we'd
better wages in some instances, but no
radical advances in rates were dc.
manded. Tho manufacturers offered
no serious objections to their employees
terms, and the greater part OF the new
scale was settled when tho committee
adjourned.

PARIS, August 1.-prince Vadhuna,
tho siameso minister to France, called
ut the foreign Office to-day and in.

1t is understood that the French will
occupy the river and port at Chantibun,

PARIS, August 1.-AdvicOs received
hore from Bangkok show that no
understanding has been reached in
regard to tho dolimation OF the territory
claimed by tho French. or at least that
no knowledge to that effect has reached
the Siamese capital. Neither ls it
known at Bangkok that the blockade is
to DO raised at once. On tho contrary
the Dispatcher from Bangkok fully
support tho reports current Lass night
that much uneasiness us to tho final
outcome OF the trouble is felt at Bang.
kok aud that tho anxiety is increasing
daily. II is feared that m attack will
be made upon Bangkok unless the
French government sends orders to
Vice Admiral Human not to attack
the city.

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

Franco Acted IN had Faith-Englnnd May
be Forced to Extreme Measures.
LONDON, August 1.-The Daily Ntvs
says: "The latest news from Bangkok is
very serious. siam having accepted the
French terms, frances persistence in
coorcive measures will DO equivalent to
an unprovoked declaration Of war, il
not IN open demand for the cession Of
Siam. The British foreign Office has
never been in better, or tirmer hands
than now. We have no desire to attack
France, but while Lord Roseberry made
up his mind from the first not to assist
or encourage the Siamese, he was
equally determined, with tho approval
Of his colleagues, to protect the COM
merciNl rights Of his own countrymen.
He distinctly warned France that Brit
ish vessels could not DO stopped under
u blockade ayowedly pacific in charac-
ter. 1t is quite impossible for Great
Britain to withdraw the ships she sent
to Bangkok for protective purposes.
We cannot BIO accused OF exciting public
feeling against France. But moderation
is one thing, weakness another"

SENTIMENT IN CONGRESS.
AS a Rule Stevens Action Has Been

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-THE CALL CORE
spondent talked with number of Senators
and Representatives to-day upon the action
of Minister Stevens in establishing pro-
tectorate over Hawaii. II was welcome
news to most of them, Democrats and Re-
publlcans alike. though few Democrats
see a chance 10 criticize for a party pur-
pose.
Senator Mills of Texas said: stevens

self by introducing a resolution calling for
information as to the authority Of Minister
Stevens to proclaim protectorate.
A good many Of the Congressman THE
CALL correspondent talked with favor the
creation of commission to go to Hawaii
and gain the sentiment of the inhabitants,
foreign and native. on the proposition for
annexation by holding an election for that
purpose.
The Hawaiian commissioners now here
were greatly eated when the news of Min
lister Stevens proclamation reached Wash
ington. Mr.. Thurston went Immediately
to the State Department and had long
talk with Secretary Foster. The latter has
impressed upon the commissioners the I'M
portance or strict secrecy, and scarcely
word concerning the negotiations can be
got from them beyond the expression of
confidence in ultimate annexation.
The news OF the action Of Minister
Stevens became the subject of general COM

DARK DAYS COME.
The Sentence Against De Lesseps viii
Never Be Executed.


PARIS, Feb 9.-The sentencing of the
prisoners in the Panama trials caused the
utmost consternaton Charles de Lesseps
was calm during the recital of the decision.
but he burst in to tears when he heard the
sentence passed upon his father. NJ Fon-
tame was prostrated.
Charles de Lesseps telegraphed. informing
Madame de Lesseps OF the result of the
trial. The general belief is that the sentence
will never be executed against the Count de
Lesseps
The fines imposed were the utmost legal
penalty but they will not prevent an action
at law to recover the money squandered.
The only possible appeal from the decision
gwen to-day is one to the Court of Cessation
for a revision of the sentence.
The excitement caused by the announce
ment OF the sentences in the Parliamentary
lobbies, on the streets and in the cafes sur
passed anything of the kind since the open
ing Of the Panama Investigation The
worst feature of the situation Is that the
sentences have failed to dspe the sus-
picions and doubts of the people as to the
honesty Of the Governments intentions.
The contrast between the treatment ac-
corded to Rouver and that to which the
directors were subjected is the subject Of
much bitter criticism. While the heavy
sentences have vindicated the administra-
ton of justice they have failed to restore
confidence in the political world.
This evening the houses of the convicted
directors were thronged with sympathizing
visitors and journalists.
