The Siau Trouble.

VI the precise merits of the question
between France and Siam at its present
stage 1T is not easy to speak until the ma.
ture OF the French ultimatum is made
known. But the Siamese appear to have
shown conciliatory spirit in the bound
airy dispute. The area in controversy is
the broad belt of land lying east of the
Me-honS and between that river and the
main mountain chain of Anam. The
French accuse Siam of putting garrisons
into this area, but it is quite certain that
the Slamese have withdrawn from point
after point without struggle, while
such conflicts as have occurred seem to
have been of local origin rather than I'M
der the orders of the king. This mon
arch, man of about 40 years, who has
been on the throne since the age of Is. is
admitted to be n ruler of high character.
humane, anxious for reforms and eager
to place Siam in the advanced line of
modern Asiastic progress. He has made
many internal improvements in his king
dom, has fostered commerce, has wei
coined foreigners, and if he now hest
tates to give up large part of what he
has always considered his domain mt the
menace of French fleet and an Anam-
lite army it is what might be expected
One question now for Siam is, What
is England going to do? Without her
aid Siam may fall into the hands of
France, as Burmah fell into those of Eng
land herself. Yet that aid might itself
reduce her to the condition of a British
protectorate. The disputed boundary is
fair subject for arbitration. but there
Is no indication yet that France will
agree to settle it i'll that way.-New York

Working II Neat Trick.

81 saw funny thing out in Chicago
while on recent trip to the Worlds
fair" said a gentleman from West Vir-
ginia. 81 was i'll the lobby of the Palm
er House one evening talking with Colo
mel jim Butt, our state commissioner,
and several other gentlemen. Against
one of the gilded pillars near us leaned
forlorn looking wretch in seedy garb.
who every now and then gave vent to a
consumptivc cough that seemed to cause
him intense pain. Suddenly he fell in a
heap to the floor, apparently with great
force, and i'll minute II crowd was
around him-a sympathizing crowd too.
One fellow, who was the most officious
III rubbing the nnfortunate's head with
some kind of liquid to restore him to
consciousness, said:
Gentlemen, tell YOU what ails this
man. It's nothing more or less than
starvation. He hasn't had Il mouthful
to eat i'll rs hours. All he wants to bring
him around all right is good beefsteak
and some hot rolls.
If that's what ails him, said Colonel
Butt, he needn't suffer any longer And
he pulled ont IL 50 note and handed it to
the Samaritan, who had gradually rubbed
his pal back to life. Then the pair am
bled off arm in arm to play the trick in
some other hotel. but they must have
gone at least Il block before it dawned
on Butt that he had been victimized. -

Old PcoDle SHOW.

A somewhat novel competition, which
is described in our Paris letter published
todayas constituting the antithesis of the
baby show held in the French capital a
year or two ago, is about to take place
next month i'll the Pavilion de la Vile do
Paris in the Champs Elysees. 1t is an
international show of old people. No
one under the age of 80 will be permitted
to compete for the prizes offered but as
there are at least so duly authenticated
centenarians in France alone this restric-
ton will hardly interfere with the suc-
cess of show from which the medical
authorities expect to derive as much sci
entiiic and useful information as they
were able to obtain from the baby show
two years ago.-New York Tribune.

For,incations For an English. Port.


The British war department. has made
arrangements for having the works in
connection with the Notifications at
Chatham considerably advanced during
the current year. Tho chain of forts
which for some years past have been
under construction i'll the vicinity of
Midway are intended for the defense of
the dockyard and naval arsenal and the
military depots at Chatham and also of
the approaches to London. The expend-
iture has already reached Il total of
many thousands of pounds. and it is es-
timated that Il further outlay of between
100000 and Sl50.000 will be necessary
before the works are complete. Of this
sum it is expected that $4,000 will be
expended during the coming year-Sf5,-
600 on the eastern defenses and So5, 900
on Darland fort. In both of these cases
there has been Il large increase in the
amount of the original estimates.
1t was anticipated that the works in
connection with the eastern defenses
would cost $3.50, 900, but owing to the
substitution of civil for convict labor
that sum has been raised to $3.50, 900.
The original estimate for the construc-
ton of Darland fort-$SO ,000-was also
found insufficient, but up to the present
time the actual expenditure ON this par
tlcular fort has been only about $40 900.
When the system of fertilization is com
plete, Chatham will be we'll nigh inyul-
nerable both by land and water.-Ex-

Resolutions of Respect.
Oakland, October, 1st, 1898.

At special meeting of st. Mat
thew's Vestry, held this day, for
the purpose of giving appropriate
expression to our sorrow ut the sud
den death of our Junior Warden,
Bowie johnson, who was with us at
the Vestry meeting, on the 9th of
September; who was at his post Of
duty at the entrance of our house
of worship at the late visitation Of
the Bishop on the morning of Sep
tember the 28th, courteously seat
ing all who came to attend the SER
vice; who knelt with us then at the
chancel rail to join in the celebra-
ton of the Holy Communion, and
was summoned to the presence Of
his God early on the 29th of Sep
tember, ii nus res0lved::
That IN his death our parish has
lost one of its most useful members; !;
the Vestry one whose place it will
be difficult to fill; the Rector one
whom he could always look for
prompt assistance in his parish work; ;
the community a useful citizen; his
family a devoted and selfsacrificing
husband, an affectionate and in
dulgent father.
That to his family we acknowl-
edge the poverty of language to con-
yey comfort and simply beg that
they will cherish his last words on
earth, "Let me rest" and think OF
them as a prayer our Heavenly
Father heard and will answer.
That we attend his funeral IN a
body, spread these resolutions on
the records Of the parish, request
their publication in the county
papers, and forward copy to his
rOw-stricken family.
