TIEN-TsIN, July 20.-1nformation
has been received mere from Pekin to
the effect that China has taken meas
ures to support Siam as against the
French. Siam has for many years paid
tribute to China, but only as matter
of usage and convenience, and it is
now apparent that China is determined
to assist the Siamese against French
enoroachments upon their territory.
Tie interference of China will add u
most interesting feature to the France
S amese dispute, and will probably re-
suit in modification of some of the de-
mands of France as contained in her
ultimatum.
PARIS, Jnly 2O.-The statement is
published that Baron Morenheim, the

frances position in the Franco-Siamese
dispute, that Russia would support
France on all the points involved in
the Siamese difficulty. 1t is further
said that the Russian fleet in Chinese
waters is under orders to proceed to
the Gulf of Siam for the purposes Of
supporting the French and of protect
ing the French residents in Siam. The
fleet is expected to shortly arrive in
Siamese waters.
LONDON, July, 20.-Dispatches re-

PIERCED BY A RED Hot PIPE.-A
frightful accident in the Reading Iron
Works on Tuesday has placed William
Abraham, a fourten-year-old boy, on
his death bed. He was working in the
pipe mill when a pipe an inch and a
half in diameter, which comes from
the machine red-hot, struck him in the
abdomen. This burning and blunted
spear pierced the boys clothing and
ran into his body to depth of two
inches. He shrieked and tainted.
The pipe had taken with it the cloth
ing, and when the doctors arrived it
could not be removed. The pipe was
filed off about six inches from the boys
body, and subsequently it was taken
out at the hospital by means of an OPP
GRAFTON. The boys condition is very
critical.
