France Will Not Interfere with
Siamese Independence.
No OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.
Siam, However, Must Respect the
Treaties Heretofore Made.
The French Government Will Also Insist
on Complete Reparation by Siam for
the Murder of French Inspector
of Native Militia.

PARIS, July 18.-Dreyfus questioned the
government in the chamber of deputies
about French operations in Siam. De-
velle, minister of foreign affairs, said the
government had no intention to interfere
with Siamese independence but would
insist that Siam respect the treaties. The
Interference OF third power would not
be tolerated. If Siam did not max COM
plete reparation for the murder of Gras
gurin, French inspector of native militia,
by a Slamese manderln, and other acts,
France would blockade the Mekong river.
If necessary Bangkok would be bonn
barded after sufficient warning to allow
foreign ministers to protect the subjects
of their respective countries. The cham

cusation that he acted humbly toward
England. The fact is that both Earl
Roseberry, British foreign secretary :,
and Marquis Dufferin, British ambassa-
dor to Paris. had given positive assurance
that England would not interfere in Siam.
The remarks made by Sir Edward Grey
parliamentary secretary of the British
foreign ONCE as 10 Sendlng Brit
ish war ships to Siamese waters
was regarded by the ministery
as quite irreconciliable with the promise
mentioned. The French d. affairs in
London had visited Earl Roseberry there
fore to express the intense surprise felt
by the French government in view of Sir
Edward Grey's declarations, and Earl
RoseDerry had replied that Sir Edward
had been misenterpreted as to the mission
of the British gunboats in that it would
be merely to protect British subjects in
Siam and not to back Siam in quarrel
with France.
Loar says M. Develle has telegraphed
M. Pavie, French minister residing IN
Bangkok, the terms of an ultimatum to

DISABLING THE MICHIGAN.
The Story Is Not Credited in Ma
val Circles,
DATES ARE CONFLICTING,
The Alexander, However, Was in
Charge OF a Notorious Captain.
She Had a Crew of Sixty Men Who Would
Enjoy Fight-Late Advices Say That
She Was Captured by the Revenue
Cutter Rush.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1S.-The story OF
the alleged disabling of the war ship Mo-
hican by the steamer Alexandria in the
Behring sea is questioned here. 1t is
fact, however, that when she sailed last
April from here she carried crew Of over
sixty men; had forty Winchester rifles
and some small cannon. Her captain,
Dan McLain, is notorious for having con-
Quoted several raids on the seal rookeries
on the japan coast and the men selected
by him were known in San Francisco as
men who would enjoy fight.
Captain Howison, commandant OF the
Mare island navy yard, places
little reliance in the story. The dates, he
SAID, are conflicting, and besides the story
that a shot from a smooth bore pene-
trated the side OF the Mohican and dis
abliug her engines, was absurd, as 1T
would have TO pass through twelve inches
of solid white oak and then through coal
bunkers into the engineers room. TAX
ing it for granted that shots We're ex-
changed, it is seemingly impossible Tor
the Mohican gunners to have wasted am
munition aud hit the Alexandria.

Ideal Weather Greeted Visitors

Corbett's Show in the Midway Plais'
ance Ordered Closed.
Work of Carrying Away the Debris at the
Ruins of the Fire Almost Concluded
The Grand Jury Return Verdict
Officials Held to the Grand Jury

CHICAGO, July 17.-Ideal weather
greeted visitors to the Worlds fair this
morning. The skies were clear, tempera-
ture just right for outdoor exercise, and
a bracing breeze came off Lake Michigan.
Visitors was not slow to take advantage
of the conditions and began to flock into
the grounds early. Not since the 4th OF
July have the ticket takers been kept SO
busy.
The exhibit of the republic of Uruguay
was formally opened to the public today
and Is an exceedingly creditable one.
Burnt pieces of woman's apparel
were found in the ruins of the cold
storage warehouse at the World 8 fair
grounds today.
President Higginbotham has issued an
order to close up the. pugilist Jim Cor
bits vaudeville show in the midway
plaisance. Director of Works Burnham
is waiting for orders from President
Higginbotham as to whether the order is
to be executed by law proceedings or by
force.
The work of clearing away the debris
and ruins OF the cold storage warehouse
continued today. Workmen are fast APP
preaching the point where the fatal
| tower stood and as the rubbish is re-
moved the stencil increases. 1t is be-
lieved that several human bodies are
buried there.
The World fair field trial OF moving
machines took place at Wayne, Ills, on
the farm OF Mr.. NJ. W. Denham. Only
two manufacturers entered, the Nc
Cormick Harvesting company of Chicago,
and the William Nj. Whitley company OF
Muncie, Ind. The judges were Profess
sor R. P. Thurston of Cornell college,
Hon. I'll. G. Wheeler of Odebolt, Ia. one
of the largest farmers in the world, and
Calvin Young of Auburn, n. Y. The
field in which the test occurred was COW
cred with heavy timothy of yield OF
about three tons to the acre.
The machines were first used with
fivefoot bars, and the Whitley machine
cut one acre in exactly thirty-two and 6
half minutes, with five stops to clear the
bars of clogging grass. The Mccormick
with but one stop. The appreciable diff
ference between the two trials was thai
the Mccormick mower made less noise
while in operation and cut much closer Il
the ground.
The next trial was with 'iBig -Four, y
seven foot bar, and the Mccormick ma
chine. The Whitley company did no
lcompete. The time consumed by thi
machine in cutting one acre was twenty
six and half minutes. A test with
|dynameter showed that the power re
lquired to haul the Mccormick machin,
was about 10 per cent. less than tn,
Whitley.
| The judges announced no formal con
clusion today, but it is understood tina
the award will be in favor of the Nc

SEALING PoAoHERs SEIZED.

The Alexander and st. Paul Seized by the
Revenue Cutter Rush.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 1S.-The
revenue cutter Richard Rush seized the
steamers Alexandria and ST. Paul, near
Okermok island on July 1. The Alexan-
dria had sixteen seals and the st. Paul
six. The lieutenant of the Rush boarded
the st. Paul after having been on the Al
exandria, and the captain of the former
vessel, thinking he was under seizure.
complained about the officers not seizing
the Alexandra. He made statement
which showed that the modus vivendi
was being violated, and the lieutenant ac-
cordingly seized both vessels. They will
be sent to Sitka with a prize crew. The
Alexandria is the vessel which fired ON
and disabled the United States man-of-
war Mohican, on June %.

sourHERN SEAL RookERIEs.
A Vessel Arrives at Valparaiso with
10000 Seal skins.

OO,DOO seal skins.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A dispatch re-
porting the arrival ola ship at Valparaiso
with a cargo of 60, 900 seal skins taken at
an unknown point in the Antarctic
ocean, was shown Professor Goode, the
well known expert of the Smithsonian In
stitution. He replied: sfIt is not at all
improbable that such a catch was made;
fur seals occur on both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of South America about
the southern extremity and on all out
lying islands, including not only the
Falklands, South Shetland and South
Georgian, but other small islands more to
the eastward. They have been found, in
fact, at all islands making up the chain
OF islets stretching somewhat inter-
ruptedly from Cape Horn and the Falk-
land islands eastward to Australia and
New Zealand, including those south OF
the Cape of Good Hope, so famous in the
annals of seal fishery.
'sThe rookeries in that part of the world,
however, were practically abandoned
for some years, forthe reason that owing
to Great Britain's failure to protect them
the seals became almost extinct and it did
mot pay for the time and trouble spent in
hunting them. 1t may be that these
years Of comparative safety has resulted
in the restoration of seal life TO its former
extent. Ii SO, wonder if Great Britain
viii undertake to protect the rookeries

WORLDS FAIR FIRE.
The Jury Return Verdict Holding Several
Oficials to the Grand Jury.


Oficials to the Grand Jury.
CHICAGO, July 1s.-The coroner's jury
investigating the awful fire at the cold
storage building at the Worlds fair
ground last week in which so many lives
were lost, this evening returned YER
dict holding to the grand jury for
criminal negligence, the following per-
sons: Daniel H. Burnham, director of
works OF the Worlds fair; fire marshal,
Ed. Murphy; ]. B. Skinner, president of
the Hercules Iron works Downing the cold
storage plant); Charles A. Mcdonald,
secretary and treasurer of the same COM
pany. All of the indicted men will give
bonds tomorrow, no order of arrest hav-
ing been made.
Fire Marshal Murphy is much affected
by the verdict, which he declared was I'M
just, as he was neither negligent nor
guilty of misconduct. Burnham was
held on the ground that he was aware of
the faulty construction of the building
and still permitted its erection in the
grounds; Skinner and Mcdonald because
they built the building, and Murphy be-
cause it was alleged he didn't fully in
vestigate the fire before sending the men
into the tower. Murphy himself swore
that the men were already in the tower
when he arrived.

USING CAMELs in AUSTRALIA.
They Are. Much More Valuable Than the
Bullocks


Although the camel proved unsatisfac-
tory for use as beast of burden in the
mining regions of Nevada and Arizona,
the animal is rapidly coming into favor
and profitable use in mining countries in
other parts of the world. 1t seems prob
able to the mining industry that in South
Africa the camel will take the place of the
horse for most uses, as the camel Is not
injured by the insects which prove fatal
to the horse and the bullocks, nor
is it attacked by the diseases that destroy
other beasts of burden. The Germans
are already making great use of the
camelS in southwest Africa. They are
found to be very valuable for making long
journeys into the arid interior regions OF
the country, as they are able to travel a
whole week without water or food. Ia
Australia the camel is fast taking the
place OF the bullocks for use in the barren
interior regions. 1t is stated that there
are already opened up and in regular
work in Australia five lines of camel
traffic, and that on these lines over 2, GOO
camels are in daily use. Camels are
found to be SO useful that
the number employed will be increased
as rapidly as possible. With the bull
lock teams only about ten miles a day
can be made, but it is found that the
camel Will traVel elgnly-Iour miles IN
eighteen hours, carrying a load OF 500
pounds. In the interior OF Australia are
almost 1000, 600 square miles of almost
unknown desert, and it is on the great
inland plains that it is intended to utilize
the camel trains, and by their use the
various oasies OF civilization may be
more directly connected than by the old
bullock routes. On the arid plains and
among the mud fats and brackish lakes
the camel finds plenty of coarse grass
and thorny shrubs on which to subsist.
1t is claimed that work can be found in
Australia for 1, 100000 camels.

There is no more chance of cloture

tions bill fight in The Fifty first Congress.

FINANCIERs ARRESTED.

Two Wisconsin Men Taken in on a
Serious Charge.
SHELL LAKE, Mich, July 1s.-A. c.
Probert and Edwin Probert, Wisconsin
bankers who operated banking institu-
tions at Washburn, Ashland and Shell
Lake, were arrested at Washburn today
charged with having violated the bank
ing laws. The three banks in
which the prisoners are interested
failed recently and an examination has
shown, it is said, that all the institutions
are in bad shape and that deposits were
received over the counters after it must
have been known that they were insol-
vent.
The Proberts stood high in Wisconsin
financial circles, and the news of their
arrest caused a great sensation through
out the state.
