RUSSIA BACKS FRANCE.

The Cxar's vesselssUnder Orders to. Pro-
ceed 60 Siam.
PARIS, July 20.-The statement is pub
lished that Baron Morenheim, the Rus
sian ambassador to France, officially in
formed the French government prior to
the session of the Chamber Of Deputies
on Tuesday last, when M. Develle, the
foreign minister, defined Frances posi-
ton in the Franco-Siamese dispute, that
Russia would support France on all the
points involved in the Siamese difficulty.
It is further said that the Russian fleet
in Chinese waters is under orders to pro-
ceed to the Gulf Of Siam for the purpose
of supporting the French and protecting
the French residents in Siam. The fleet
is expected to shortly arrive in Sianese
waters.

ing in Bangkok. ssThe despatch adds that
the present and future position of Great
Britain in Siam depends on the action

China VIII Support Siam.
TIENTsIN, July 20.-Information has
been received here from Pekin to the ef-
feet that China has taken measures to
support Siam as against the French.
Siam has for many years paid tribute
to China, but only as matter of usage
and convenience, and 1T is now apparent
that China is determined to assist the
Siamese against French .encroachments
upon their territory.
The interference of China will add
most interesting feature to the Franco
Siamese dispute, and will probably re-
suit in modification of some of the de-
mands of France as contained in her ul-
timatum
King and Queen May Leave Bangkok.
PARIS, July 20-A despatch from

have been sent to put down the sedition.

meeting was summoned this afternoon

Found His Companions Apparently Dead
and the store on Fire,
Especial to the Press.l

BATH. July 20.-During the heavy
shower of yesterday afternoon the store
of the Cornelius Ice Company at Horse
Island was struck and burned to the
ground together with the outbuilding.
There were five or six persons in the
store at the time, all of whom were more
or less affected by the shock. Mr. John
Day, a travelling salesman IN the employ
of Fletcher, & Co., of Portland, was
among the party. He had his left hand
completely filled with fine bits of glass
from the broken window. He came to
Bath today and had his hand dressed.
His injuries, though pailful, are not
serious.
Mr.. Day says he came to first of all
and saw his companions stretched out on
the floor as though dead. He succeeded
in srousing all but the clerk, Charles
Wallace, who only recovered after they
had worked over him for a long time.
The store burned so rapidly that they
were unable to save anything. The loss
will reach four or five thousand dollars.
The store alone was insured, there being
$500 on the building and $1,000 on the
stock. This insurance was placed with
the Granite State Insurance Company,
through MI. lGeo. Fl. Clark, their agent
in this city.

Hard Times in Colorado and other West
ern States.

DENVER, Col, July 20-Itis estimated
that today 10000 men are in Denver un-
able to secure employment and 10000 in
outside towns are in the same condition,
half of whom are making their way to
this city where they will become public
charge if the conditions do not speedily
change. All the commercial bodies in
this city will meet with representatives
of eastern roads tonight and the latter
will be asked to make So rate from
here to Missouri river for this class OF
people. 1t is argued that these men are
not paupers but if they can get into the
agricultural districts they will be able to
secure employment in the harvest fields
where men will soon be in demand. A
conservative estimate of the men dis
charged by the railways. mines, business
houses and factories since the silver pam
ic started, places the number at 10000.
1t is estimated that Colorado, Utah,
Montana and New Mexico merchants
have countermanded orders ON New York
wholesale houses for goods during this
time amounting to over Sl2,000,0Oo.
