REMARKABLE CASE.
Indiana Man Buried Many Years Ago and
Perfectly Preserved.


Perfectly Preserved.
LAPORTE, Ind, May 15.-W. A. Wood
bury, aged % years, was buried in Sep
tember, 1S45. For two score years and
six the whispering pines have moaned
a requiem over the grave. Saturday,
by direction of interested relatives, his
remains were exhumed. They did not
find the body crumbled to ashes, but in
a state bordering on almost per-
feet preservation. The casket had
been constructed of tin with q zinc
top. The body had been embalmed
with whisky, which in early days was
used exclusively by the undertaking
fraternity, and had been clothed in q
shropd. Under the black shroud the
flesh was almost in it's natural state.
The face, exposed to the air which
found its way into the casket when it
had partially crumbled away, had be-
come black, but the features were per-
feet. The eyes were not sunken, and
his hair, which fell over his shoulders,
had not been changed by the long bur-
ial. The shroud was apparently as
good as new. The body would weigh
about fifty pounds.

MADRID, May 1b.-After over sixty
hours of continuous session, the Cortes
adjourned at e:15 o'clock Friday night.
The ministry have won great victory
over the republicans, and popular ex-
element is intense. The deadlock just
ended was caused by the attempt of the
government to postpone the municipal
elections until November. The repub-
licans opposed the bill in the cortes
persistently, but were outwitted Fri
day night.
The counter motion of the republic
ans in the cortes against leaving the
government free-handed in the matter
Of the municipal election was rejected
shortly after o'clock by a vote of 1876
to 81. The republican deputies retired
for a few minutes to the lobbies to con-
fer, leaving only two men to watch the
government. Almost Immediately after
their departure the men on watch sum-
moned them back in all haste. 1t was
too late, however. The original bill
postponing the election had already
been rushed through the house by the
ministers.
The republican members at once
withdrew from the building. AS they
appeared in body in the street they
were cheered repeatedly by the thick
ening crowd. The news spread like
magic, and before the deputies reached
the republican club thousands were
marching behind them, shouting Long
live the Republic" The balconies near
the republican club were thronged
with men and women, who answered
the cheers of those below as the depu-
ties passed. The club was filed with
representative republicans, who at
once gathered in conference to decide
upon their future line of action.
Meantime some ten thousand men
and women had assembled some two
hundred yards from the parliamentary
building, and were cheering for the re.
publicans. The police ordered them tC
| lisperse. They refused to do so. The
police charged and We're repulsed.
Three companies of reirforcements
drawn sabers, divided the mob, and
scattered the groups through side
streets.
At 9:l5, when the cortes adjourned,
most of the people had been driven off,
and the ministerialists We're in no dan.
ger of being molested.
At 11:30 o'clock the streets near the
middle of the city are still crowded.
The republican club is surrounded by
thousands of cheering men and women.
The government is taking all precau.
tions to protect the public buildings.
The courtyard of the home Office il
filed with mounted gendarmes. The
other offices have been similarly garri.
soned. The government is taking
steps to prevent the publication of re-
publican manifestos in the city Or
ders have been sent to the authorities
Of all towns in the provinces to preven,
the publication and circulation of re
publican appeals to the people.

FRENCH DEMANDS.

siaIu VIII Cheerfully Pay the Money IN.
demnity. but VIII Resist the Territorial
Demands of Her Powerful Antagonist,
In Which She will be Supported by Great
Brftain-M. Pavie and the French UL-
timatum.
LONDON, July 21.-ImportaHt COM
munications have passed to-day pc
tween the foreign Office and ii. NJ.
Jones, British minister resident IN
Bangkok.
Vice Admiral Fremantle. COM
mander-in-chief of the Chinese division
of the feet, is fastening to Singapore,
where dispatches from the admiralty
awaits him. The greater part OF the
squadron under his command accom-
panied him.
Great Britain informed Siam yester-
day that she could not recognize any
obligatio to assist her. 1t is evident,
therefore, that the Siamese govern
ment must patch up as best as 1T can
most of it's differences with France.
In the territorial arrangements, now
ever, Great Britain will have voice.
The exact nature of her demands can.
not be ascertai ned before France shall
specify more particularly than she has
specified in her ultimatum. the boun-
diaries of the territory to be brought
under French control. The ultimatum:
is notably indefinite as regards this
point. Even Siam is still in the dark,
and her efforts to obtain light from NJ.
Pavie bids fair to fail for several days.
The vital part of the French demand
for territory may include the whole
left bank of the Mekong river. This
territory Siam will not. surrender
without a struggle. France has given
Siam a month in which to withdraw
from the ports of the lower Mekong.
Siam manifests all willingness to pay
France the indemnity demanded for
injuries to French citizens and prop
erty. although the indemnity specified
by France is far in excess of the dam
age.
NJ. Pavie, minister resident, handed
Frances ultimatum to Prince Deuv-
wongse, Siamese minister of foreign
affairs, on Friday. At the same time
he informed the Siamese government
that in case Frances demands should
be refused, he would at once leave
Bangkok to go aboard the gunboat
Forfeit The blockade of the Siamese,
he added, would be declared at once.
The opinion is general here that
Siam will offer to pay the indemnity
demanded by France. 1t is doubtful,
however, that the French claims to the
territory will be allowed. Much de-
ponds on the response of Great Britain
to the efforts Siam is making to gain
her moral or material support.
