LONDON, July 29.-Rumors were rife
among members of parliament last night
that Lord Dufferin would within few
hours demand his passports from the
French government. Diplomatic rela-
tons between the two countries are at
great tension and the gravest events
portend. China, it is now definitely
known, has notified France that she
claims the territory between the 2lst
and 23rd degrees of latitude, which is
part of what is demanded of Siam.
LONDON, July 29.-Emperor William
ON board the imperial yacht Hohenzc..-
lern, arrived at Dover this morning
from Kiel, and was met by the Prince
of Wales and distinguished party.
DARMsTADT, July 29.-While play
ing tennis at Castle Wolfsgarten last
evening, the Grand Duke of Hesse fell
and sprained one of his knees. The
sprain is so severe that he will be COM
PEELED to remain in bed for some days.
LONDON, July 29.-The wife of Rev.
Canon George Prothero, chaplain in
ordinary to the Queen, has committed
suicide. Mrs. Prothero, who had been
ill for some time, was at Whippingham
-ectory, near Osborne House, the
Queens residence on the Isle of Wight.
To-day while temporarily inane, she
escaped the observation of her nurse
and leaped from one of the windows of
her room, which was in the upper
part of the rectory. She was almost
instantly killed.

THE PHILADELPHIA Press, rank re-
publican, is in favor of the employment
of southern negroes in the places of the
striking white workmen in the North,
and sees great advantages to the form
err as likely to result therefrom. Well,
if the North be pleased to see the bread
and meat ofits white laborers taken out
of their mouths by southern negroes,
the South certainly will make no oppo.
sition. The northern workmen may
possibly, after while, begin to suspect
that the republican party is not as good
n friend of theirs as they have been led
to believe.

The Gubernatorial Contest.

FRONT ROYAL, Va, July %, 1898.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Referring to the gubernatorial con-
test now in progress in Virginia, if we
are to accept the statements as issued
by chairman East, all other candidates
than his favorite had as well withdraw
from the contest. But the people of
the Seventh district and other parts of
the State should not be duped by the
extravagant claims of the Colonel's
chairman. If the State is so over
whelmingly for O'Ferrall for Gov
ernor, why the resort to such
questionable means as the use of
Federal patronage and corporation in
fuence, as in Norfolk, Roanoke and
other places, and why the desperate eff
forts put forth to pack conventions in
every voting precinct? And when the
indignant people turn out to prevent
such proceedings, why do the O'Ferrall
supporters as in Betetourt and portion
of this county, invariably bolt the regu-
lar conventions thus following the
example of their chief as set them years
ago when his democracy was in its in
fancy? We of this 18th district know
too well his method Of naming delegates
to county conventions as practiced
upon us for the past ten years, and are
therefore repelling; as an evidence of
which we point to the fact that every
county and city yet voting in the It'll
district, except Green and Page couE.
ties, has either sent divided delega-
ton or one solidly against him. The
people know him at home and are not
for him, and his political wire-pullers
cannot control them. They are deter
mined that the Governorship shall not
be secured by such questionable means.
Let Virginians then resent the use of
Federal patronage and corr Grafton in
fuences by turning out to the primaries
and electing delegates that will vote in
the Richmond convention for repre-
sentative Virginian, true to every in
terest of the State, such as Major j..
Hoge Tyler or Col. Buford, and be not
misled or discouraged by the eXtrava-
CANT statements and claims of Chair
man East.

End of the Franco-Siamese Troubles.
BANGKOK, July 29.-The Siamese
government has accepted the full terms
OF the French ultimatum in its entirety.
The substance of the ultimatum
was as follows: 1st. A recogni-
ton of the rights of AMMAN and
Cambodia on the left or eastern bank of
the Mekong river as far north as the
twenty-third parallel of latitude. 2nd.
The evacuation within q month OF the
forts held by the Siamese on the east
bank of the river. Ord. Full satistac-
ton for various Siamese aggresslons
against French ships and French sail
ors on the OIenam river. 18th. The
punishment of the culprits and pro-
vision for the pecuniary indemnity of
the victims. 9Th. An indemnity of s.
600. 900 francs for various damages sus-
tanned by French subjects. 9th. The
immediate deposit Of 6, 00O,0 600 francs to
guarantee the payment of the fourth
and fifth claims, or the assignment of
the taxes in certain districts in lieu of
the deposit of 100000 francs. This
ultimatum was sent on July II, and
forty light hours were allowed for Siam
to make answer to the French demands.
With the acceptance of the ultimatum
by the Siamese government, the war
cloud in the east will of course pass
over.
1t is stated here that England pro-
tested to France that her threatened
blockade of the Siamese coast would
not be legal act, and that France con-
ceded the point made by Great Britain.
France, it is said, has undertaken that
British commerce will in no wise be in
terfered with by the French warships.
English vessels will be allowed to cross
the Menan bar inward for Bangkok at
ter Sunday. The situation here now
presents much more peaceful aspect.
PARIS, July 29.-Iu view of the
Siamese concession Of all the demands
made by the French, notice of which
reached this city to-day, it is expected
that France will withdraw the notice
of the blockade. 1t is also expected
that France will accept Slams surren-
der to her ultimatum. 1t is under
stood that the provinces on the upper
Mekong river that were coded to Siam
by Great Britain will form the subject
of future negotiations between France
and Great Britain.
