CONCESSION PROBABLE.
France May Accept the Terms
Granted by Siam.
so ASSERTS SIR CHARLES dixie

Meanwhile the Work of Enforcing tho
Blockade OF Bangkok Proceeds, While
Inhabitants of That Place Believe
France Wants Siam as n Province.
LONDON, July aS-Sir Charles Dixie said
in an interview today he believed that the
Marquis of Duffern and NJ. Develle had
reached an agreement by which France
would abandon her claims to the upper
Mekong. "Of course" he added, 1.-THE sur
render will be CLOSED over by some form
OF compromise, but cannot imagine Eng
lands agreeing to anything else"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1--WE learn
from an authority that is deserving of the
highest respect that the Franco-Samese
difficulty has been settled. France has
agreed to accept Slams proposals, and has
abandoned her claims to the territory lying
between the eighteenth and twenty-third
parallels of latitude.
The Standards Paris correspondent says:
II gather that NJ. Develle and Lord DUFF
FERN have agreed to n compromise OH the
frontier question. The newspapers have
no inkling Of this, and are as aggressive as
ever"
The Pekin correspondent of The Stan
dard says: whilst China is not likely to
attempt to enforce her suzcrain rights so
long as the scene of the conflict shall be
limited to the Menam and the lower Me-
kong, can state positively on the highest
authority that she is fully determined to
uphold her dominion on the upper Me
kong. If France encroaches above lati-
tude 21 degrees she will find China in her
path"
BANGKOK, July 2S.-Notice was given
yesterday of the blockade by the French
fleet. Outgoing vessels have been warned
that they must clear from Bangkok and
Koh- Chang before tomorrow or submit
to detention. Tho blockade will extend
along the entire north coast of the Gulf of
Siam. The French fleet with NJ. Pavie
French minister resident, has gone to Koh-
si-Chang. The general expectation is that
early in August the French fleet will ut
tack Bangkok and land some 5000 men.
There is little doubt here that Frances
purpose is to make Siam n French colony
The Siamese government is exceedingly
anxious to avoid open warfare. When the
gunboat Lutin was at the Menam bar yes
tcrday the foreign minister sent to NJ
Pavie a note to the effect that the king
and his advisers were most anxious to
maintain peace All such efforts, how
ever, are believed by the English residents
to be vain. Unless England intervencs to
assist i'll settlement of the dispute there
can be little expectation or even hope that
France will refrain from extreme meas
llres.
SAIGON. July 2s.-The opinion here ia
that military operations will follow the
blockade to secure to France material
guarantees. English traders in Singapore
are indignant, and protest that the block
ade will cut off communication with the
English and German houses in Bangkok
Hong Kong traders, on the other hand,
expect great increase of business from
the closing of the Bangkok market. They
hope to send large supplies to Saigon, US

Q. r. Covington Originated the Idea Of
Sorting Mail Matter In Transit.
Nearly everybody realizes that the
Importance of the railway mail service
has increased wonderfully Of late years,
though comparatively few know that
the larger part OF the work Of sorting
mail matter is now done on the great
postal trains while travelling at light
ming speed. Postmasters and postoffces
outside of the large cities are but Incl
dental features Of the modern system of
mail delivery, Of which the trunk line
mail trains are by far the most impor-
tant arteries.
The regular railway mail service was
instituted In 1884, and credit for much
of the immense improvement that mas
been made since then must be given to
Colonel George B. Armstrong, who was
placed at the head of the service in 1859.
But the honor Of originating the idea Of
sorting letters en- route between cities
belongs to another man and another pc

Bois to report an omnibus bill for a
number of his bills introduced from the
mineral lands States to aid in the estab-
lishment of schools of mines. The bill
provides that out of the sale of mineral
lands in the States of California, Oregon,
Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Montana,
South Dakota and Wyoming, there
shall be paid a sum not to exceed S12,-
600 for school of mines if the State

Yankton Press, 80: The Pierre Capital
is mistaken in charging that Senator
Stewart has silver mines IN Nevada or
anywhere else. The senator himself de-
clares that he has not dollar interest in
silver mines anywhere. Even if he had
it ought to make no difference to the
people IN considering the financial
question. Some one must own and
operate the silver mines il they are to
produce silver and it might as well be
Stewart as any one else. The silver
question is not one of ownership oi
mines.
