PARIS. July ia semi-official note
Is published today denying the assertion
that France has disavowed to the Siam
ese government the action Of Admiral
Human in causing gunboats to ascend
the Menam river and the commanders
of the gunboats COmete and IncOnstante
had exceeded their instructions in firing
upon the forts at Paknam.
NJ. de Lanessan, encouragement Of

troops attacked a accommodating force of
Annamite militia on July at Anake.
The Siamese We're repuIsed with great
loss. One Of the Annamites was killed.
The people everywhere in the Laos dis
trict. which lies to the northward of
Siam are. according to the dispatch,
siding with the French.
The ministers resolve 10 disavow in
the chamber any intention to interfere
with Siamese independence. At the same
time they decided to insist that the
treaties between France and Siam be
respected and no Intervention should be
tolerated. In case it should become
necessary TO lombard Bangkok, warning
should be given TO foreign powers 50 as
TO enable them TO protect their subjects

cline 10 give complete satisfaction for
her offences against Frances treaty

senator PIatt's views.

HARTFORD, Conn, July l3.-Senator
Platt i'm an interview today said:
Judging from my experience with for
mer congresses, the people who enter
tain the idea that congress viii assemble
and repeal a part or the whole Of the
sherman law quickly and then adjourn
are likely 20 find themselves mistaken.
There are three contested seats in the
senate, and the filling Of them may pos
sibly determine whether the senate will
have a majority in favor Of repeal The
first thing TO do is % determine whether
the senators appointed by the governors
of Washington, Wyoming and Montana,
after their legislatures tried but failed
to elect, are To be gwen their seats. If
they are, the free-c0inage senators viii
be stronger than now. i believe the ap-
pointment of these senators by the gov
ernor unconstitutional and that they are
not entitled to seats. IL win take con-
siderable time TO settle that question.
Then il must be remembered that
there is no previous question in the SEN
ate. and any senator can speak TO any
question often and as long as he
chooses. Senators opposed TO repeal Will
undoubtedly avail themselves Of their
right Of unlimited debate TO it's fullest
extent.
The republican party must not be
held responsible for legislation now. l
need scarcely say that l have no conf
dence in the wisdom or capacity Of the
democratic party either 10 enact or 10
execute wise laws"

ON THE YACHT ONEIDA.
President Cleveland, DIR: Bryant and
Mr.. Benedict Cruise.

BUZZARD'S BAY, July 17.-President
Cleveland has not yet gone TO New York
as was supposed when he sailed on the
yacht Oneida this forenoon in company
with Commodore Benedict and DR.. Bry-
ant. 1t is authoritively stated here this
evening that the party have gone on
a short cruise and fishing excursion, to
be absent from here about two days.
1t is not generally known in what To-
cality the party will cast their lines,
but it is reported that a part of the time
may be spent in the vicinity of Block
island.
When the president left today he ap-
peared in the best of health and he has
no lameness whatever. Neither has DR.
Bryant returned TO New York, but on
the other hand. will accompany the
president back to Gray Gables, where
he will probably remain through the
month of July Mrs. Cleveland, in COM
pany with her daughter and maid
drove over here for the mail tonight.
NEWPORT, r. l., July 17.-President
Cleveland arrived here about o'clock
this evening. The Oneida anchored in
the harbor and no one but the steward
mas been ashore. Few knew Of the
president being in this locality. He ap-
parently does not desire any demOnstra-
tiOn, hence the anchorage in the out
of the way place, instead of with other
yachts In the inner harbor.

Britain a LIttIe Anxious.

LONDON. July 1.-THE Earl of Rose
berry. secretary Of state for foreign
affairs, replying TO a question asked
by Lord Lamington in the house Of
lords today. said that the government
was not in full possession of the facts
regarding the dispute between France
and Siam, but that Great Britain was
fully alive to the responsibility attach
ing TO her and would not lose any op-
portunity of obtaining a satisfactory
solution Of the matters at issue. In the
house Of commons Sir Edward Grey,
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
Office. appealed to the house not to dis
cuss the matter until further informa-
tion should have been received He
promised that everything possible would
be done by Great Britain TO arrive
at pacific solution Of the question in
volved. II was imperative, he added. to
keep distinct from the main issues GER
tain allied questions, especially the
question Of Siamese independence. This
statement evoked cheers.

of Siam has consented TO withdraw the

A CONvICTs Confession.
Saves Murder and Escape by New
York Criminals.


ALBANY, July 1.-THE warden of
Clinton prison at Dannemora came down
to Albany late this afternoon, and. pro-
ceeding to the executive chamber, re-
lated to Gov. Flower a brutal scheme of
a number of long-term prisoners con-
fined in this prison to gain their free
dom, which included the cold-blooded
murder of several of the prison guards.
One of the prisoners who was asked to
enter into the murderous attempt to es-
cape refused, and it was through him
that the prison authorities became
aware of the plot
The governor, when he heard the
facts, Immediately pardoned the prison
er, who had the courage and manliness
to prevent human slaughter At noon
yesterday, in Clinton prison, as the pris-
Oners filed through the prison corridor
in lock-step on their way past Princi-
pal Keeper McKenna to obtain their ra-
tions for dinner, one of the prisoners
slipped into the hand of the principal
keeper a piece of brown wrapping paper
two feet long by foot wide, which was
written upon both sides in lead pencil.
The writing gave the details OF the plot.
1t said that two doors had already been
cut and when. the guards. had made
their round, two men, one Lrmed with
a bar and the other with - life, would
steal upon and murder them. They were
to possess theselmves of the guards
guns, but how they were to get out of
the hall was not known. The idea of
committing murder caused the convict
to inform.
The warden told the governor that
after the prisoners had finished with din
ner the two prisoners referred to in
the communication were removed from
the cells and an examination showed
the truth of the prisoners information.
The locks Of the two cell doors had been.
tampered with. Hidden in the bed-tick
in one cell was found a long, sharp
knife In the tick on the cot in the
other cell We're found a crOw-bar. drills,
saws. files and a cOld-chisel. Thus was
the prisoners information confirmed in
every detail.

DIDN'T CATCH THE COON
But Suspended Himself for Three
Days on SapIing.

MEMPHIS, July 17.-An evening paper
prints the following singular story: "A
young man near Shuouta, Miss, named
Charles Hardeman, had been troubled a
great deal by the coons raiding his corn
field, and not having steel trap, young
Hardeman improvised a snare by bend
ing down a tall sapling and tying a
rope to the top Of 1t. and by an inven-
ton of his own fastened the rope, which
had a moose to it by a trigger to the
ground He sawed off the top of the
sapling, so when the coon pulled the ear
of corn off the trigger the fastening
would be released. and the spring of the
tree would jerk misteS coon high into
the air. While the young man was ad-
iusting the bait on the trigger he ac-
cidentally sprung 1t and the moose caught
his arm, and he was jerked off the
ground Just high enough to keep his feet
from touching, and all efforts to release
himself proved fruitless and he remained
there suspended in midair by the arm for
three days before he was discovered. He
was taken down and medical aid sum-
moned, and he will recover, but 1t is
thought he will lose the use Of his arm.

CHICAGO, July 17.-An incoming
passenger train on the Grand Trunk
road ran down crowded street car to-
night killing four people and injuring a
number of others. The dead are:
THOMAS PERKINS.
MARGARET MURPHY.
Unidentified boy.
The injured:
William Buhlman, left leg broken and
internally injured; may die.
Mrs. James Sanderson, head and body
bruised.
J. c. Smith. internally injured and

Mrs. Celia Mitchell, bruised about the
body.

head and body.
Mrs. vanderberg. head and body
bruised.
Frank Vanderberg. her three-year-old
son, head cut and body bruised.
Jennie Blakely. head and shoulders
cut.
The collision occurred at the Forty
ninth-st. crossing, which is a network Of
tracks and has always been regarded as
a dangerous crossing. A long freight
train going west had Just passed, and
the tower man. George Barnett, had
raised the gates. This was taken as a
signal that the way was clear, and
Driver Statenecker started to drive
across the tracks. The passenger train
was rapidly coming from the west, how
ever. and just as the car reached the
track it struck it squarely in the CEN
ter. The car was turned entirely around
and hurled fully thirty feet from the
point where 1t was struck. Some Of the
passengers managed to save themselves
by jumping, but the majority We're
caught Perkins and Dillon were fright
fully mangled. A piece of timber had
been forced into the formers throat.

killed were unknown to any of the pas
sengers of the car and there was moth
ing upon them to give a clew to their
identity.
The police arrested Engineer Jones,
Fireman Campbell of the passenger
train and a man named Henry Hughes,
who was riding in the cab of the engine.
The engineer said that he did not see
the street car until it was on the track
and so close that it was impossible for
him to stop the train. The tower man,
George Barnett, who raised the gates
and allowed the car to come upon the
track, said: 81 raised the gates after
the freight train had gone west and did
not see the approaching passenger train
until it was close upon the crossing.
