Encroachments of France viii PrecipI-
tate British Iroteetorate.
VICh... a slnoanore
paper brou,a ~ ,ac steamer Victoria
says:
French encroachments will preoipitate
what the English aud Siamese prophets
have long foreseen 1.-The establishment Of n
British protectorate over Siam. A small
Kingdom like Siam cannot hold its own
unaided and unprotected during Euro
pean rush for colonial empire.
Siam was i'll advised TO submit the dis
pute about the Me-Kong territory to arbi-
tration, because in the war Of colonial pol
icies IT Is customary TO support only the
rights of nations that can defend them.
siam would be equally i'll advised to go to
war with France, for France into Siam
goes no times and nothing over There is
athird course and the only rational one
open-a British protec. .orate.
lt remains to he seen how Gladstone's
cabinet will receive applications for Brit
lsh protectorgte over Siam. We have an
uneasy feeling that IL England were to adj
dress a gentle remonstrance To France for
her conduct In Siam and ask for explana-
tons France would withdraw all objec-
ton to British occupation Of Egypt pro-
vided England would allow France q free
hand i'm the far east, including the occupa-
ton OF Siam.
Tbe French advance mp the Me-Kong to
Stungstrang was attended with practically
little bloodshed. The Siamese forces were
concentrated farther mp the river, where
the natural conditions facilitated and
stren' hened their position.

SCHNEIDER Nav Hang.

WASHINGTON, March II. The court
which Investigated the alleged insanity of
Howard SCHNEIDER, who murdered his wife
and brother-in- law in this city, adjudged
him sane on February 81. and he was re-
sentenced to death to be hanged today.
SCHNEIDER is the rich young Washington
man, who, after his conviction, tried to
kill the district attorney. The inveStiga--
ton has recalled many of the incidents OF
the Guiteau trial. The judge who pre-
sided CJudge Cox was the same who tried
Guiteau. The leading government ex-
pert. who testified that SCHNEIDER was
simply feigning insanity, was the same
who passed upon the sanity Of Guiteau,
and other surrounding circumstances es-
tablished quite similarity between the
two cases.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
VIM. B. Miller Kills His Sweetheart
and Shoots Himself

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, March II.
"A most startling discovery was
made here yesterday of the bodies
of Miss Alma Minnemacher and
Mr.. VIM. b. Miller, both of whom
had been shot through the head.
Both parties are from Milwaukee,
Wis. Miss Minnemacher had been
spending the winter here with her
parents, who opposed the marriage,
and on Friday after luncheon she
left the house,and as night came on
and she did not return, and as
Mr.. Miller had also disappeared,
it was supposed that they had
gone off to be married. On Sunday
the parents left, hoping to find
their daughter in New Orleans.
Yesterday afternoon a young boy
found the bodies in pine thicket
on the north side of the railroad,
about 200 yards from the depot.
From the position in which they
were lying, the supposition is, that
the young man must have first
shot his companion through the
left temple and then shot him.
self behind the right ear.
Death in both instances must have
been instantaneous. The affair
was evidently premeditated, as Mr..
Miller had borrowed the pistol
which was found by his side, where
it had fallen after he had fired the
fatal shot. The families of both of
the young people are prominent in
Milwaukee. The objection to their
marriage was on account of MilleTs
health.

LAST SUNDAY.

Translated for the San Antonio LIGHT,
from the Freie PreSSG Fuer Texas.
March -, 1898.
The central part of the city was
quiet, the streets looked deserted;
it could hardly be noticed that the
saloons were open; inside and out
side, the usual quietude.
San Antonio did not differ one
bit from any city where the Sun
day law was being enforced to the
letter.
The street cars were full of peO-
pie, some going to church, Others
bent on picknicking in the suburbs
of the city and seeking fresh air,
and investigating the various adj
ditiOns to the city.
Later in the afternoon the streets
were filled with vehicles of all de-
ScriptiOns, the fine weather drew
forth the San AntOnians in all
manner of cOnVeyances, and no
doubt many church members We're
among those who could not resist
the temptation of beautiful nature.
Alamo and Laurel heights, West
End, Lake View, etc, We're receiV-
ing strong cOntingents of visitors.
The beautiful day was enjoyed,
warm sunshine, fresh life giving
air full of ozone and every one
went home well contented.
Whoever had the inclination
could have enjoyed the sweet
strains of concert music with re-
freShmentS at San Pedro Park, the
Mission and other gardens. Every
where could be seen the best re-
spectacle company, and in the
evening SchOlZ's Garden was full of
social life.
However, this is the same Sun
day all the year round, how can
any one have the idea to make
a change in this? Those who absO-
lutely insist on staying at home or
attend church three times, are not
mOlested in their rest and devotion.
This argument has never been
made in defence of the Sunday law.
The question naturally arises:
w ndU Is WdHUeu. ~ CISdIS a SOlh-
pulsory force in spying, creeping,
cowardly hypocrisy?
Aside from the fact of rObbing us
of our liberty to keep our Sunday
according to our own conscience,
the Sunday only exists to create
dissatisfaction and discussion, and
hence should be considered a dead
letter.
The same paper of the 10Th says
on the same subject: The socalled
committee, who have made the
enforcement of the Sunday law
their aim and duty, have issued a
memorial to the business men of
San Antonio in which they are re-
quested in glibby language to join
with the Sabbath hypocrites in
their lamentations. AT the same
time they admit in that same call
that San Antonio is, except this
Sunday law, one of the most peace
able and most law abiding city in
the Union. Then why this excite
ment? Only on account of hypO-
crisy? -
