tho official report Of D. A. Cooke, the

follows: "This bank suspended on the

The idea Of the comptroller in max.

the fallacy OF the theory that every

banks are closing their doors here and
there. II the people who have money
on deposit were not panic stricken and

The comptroller thinks that to give

LONDON, July 26.-Lord tRoseberry

foreign Office to consulS him on-the

A private telegram from Bangkok an
nounces that the British gunboat Pigmy

England has adequate fleets on the
East India and China stations num-
bering twenty.eight vessels, including
tho Imperieuse cruiser OF 1880 tons.
France can only muster nineteen ves-
sells, OF which the largest Is only 4,700
tons. 1t is believed that NJ. Deville
hopes that his pacific blockade will in
duce Siam to surrender at discretion.
Should Siam resist and the blockade be
made effective, British interests would
sufler severely.
The London merchants interested in
the Siam trade have forwarded joint
letter to Lord Roseberry pointing to
the injury which will be inflicted
by the blockade upon Singapore
and Hong Kong, The colonies
would become dependent on Saigon
for supplies Of rice, and thus France
will have an interest In benefltting
Cochin China by prolonged blockade.

THs NICHOLAS RAILURR
The failure OF one OF the old firms Of
the "stFeet," II. /. Nicholas & Co., was
announced soon after noon, In point
Of liabilities il was surprising, the out
standing obligations Of the firm amount
ing to $l,e5O,0O0, Although II was
known that the firm was pressed for
money, that circumstance had become
so common In Wall street nowadays
that there was no more apprehension OF
failure on the part OF Nicholas 4 Co,
than on that Of dozens OF other Arms
not especially suspected, The firm as.
signed 10 William Cromwell Nelson,
NO preferences.
Alfred JaFetskI, Mr.. Nelson's part,
ner, was found at tho Office OF the failed
firm, and he made the following state.
ment: "The obligations otthe firm will
foot up about $l,25o,o0a. They have
been engaged in a general stock bro
kerage business, dealing in o great
number OF the best stocks. Their col
lateral is In splendid paper, and all we
ask Of the creditors Of the firm is that
they will not he frightened into selling
It oil, but will hold ON to 1t, II they do,
they will receive 100 cents on the dollar
and there will be handsome surplus
for the tlrm, Their assets, II they can
be realized upon at their intrinsic value,
will exceed their liabilities by at least
sixteen per cent, As these collaterala
are In the hands Of the first class insti-
tutions we have reason to hope that
they will not be rashly disposed OF.
"The cause Of the failure, it goes
without saying, was the financial strin-
genoy, the call OF loans and the inRbill.
ty OF the firm to put up necessary mar
gins. This latter inability was only In
part their own, most OF 1t being on the
part OF their customers. The hrm'a
outstanding contracts on the exchange
are Insignificant. We hope we snail be
able to pull the firm through and set
them on their feet again."

BANGKOK. July 26-M, Pavio, the
French minlsto; resident, prior to his
departure, had a final interview with
Devawopgse, tho siamese foreign min
lister, who said that his government was
astoniShed that France considered
their reply to the French ultimatum
as . refusal to comply with ita
terms, II was impossible, he said,
to accept definitely an indefinite
proposal. France had never defined
her rights in AMMAN and Cambodia; 1;
but tho king, earnestly desiring peace
and speedy settlement OF the whole
case, had declared his readiness to
abandon AMMAN and Cambodia and all
the posts that had been attacked, as
we'll as the territory near them, includ-
ing stpngtreng and Khoug, although
these Splaces were admitted to be
EiRmese.
