THE graduating class at the Martins
Ferry schools this year was unique in
that the young men exceeded the young
ladies in numbers, there being six of the
former and but two of the latter. The

nature, one writing on Prehistoric Man
of Our Vicinity" another on -"The Mug
wump," and another ON ''The Value of
Good Roads,"

New and Unexpected Element
Of Relief for the Financial
Situation.
New York Banks Arranging to
Increase Their Circulating
Currency.

New YORK, Aug "A new and un-
expected element of relief has been in
jected into the financial situation.
United States bonds have reached such
low figure that the national banks
sec their way clear to make a profit by
issuing circulation against them. Ar
rangements have therefore been made
by some of the more prominent banks
to increase their circulation from the
minimum rate at which it now stands
to such an amount as will materially
relieve the present tension. It is esti-
mated that So, QUO, 900 or so. 0OO, OOO will
be so added to New York's supply of
currency within very short time. The
currency movement during the day
was lighter than it has been for some
time, being estimated at less than
$3.50. QUO.

ENGLAND WILL INTERFERR

Said She Will Not Permit Further
Coercion of Siam.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Daily News
says:
The latest news from Bangkok is very
serious. Siam having accepted the
French terms, Frances persistence in
coercive measures will be equivalent to
an unprovoked declaration of war. if
not an open demand for the cession Of
Siam. The British foreign Offices have
never been in firmer or better hands
than now. We have no desire to attack
France, but while Lord Roseberry
made up his mind from the first not to
assist or encourage the Siamese, he was
equally determined. with the full APP
proval of his colleagues, to protect the
commercial rights of his own country
men. He distinctly warned France
that the British vessels could not be
stopped under blockade avowedly
pacific in character. It is quite impos-
sible for Great Britain to withdraw the
ships she sent to Bangkok for protect
i've purposes. We cannot be accused Of
exciting public feeling against France.
But moderation is ono thing, weakness
another.
