WASHINGTON, Aug. $50 far as the
chamber OF the senate and the house of
representatives is concerned, congress
could meet Thursday. In the senate.
under the orders of the new sergeant
alarms, Col. Bright, the floor has been
covered with mating and has the APP
pearance OF a delightfully."- cool and in
viting chamber. The ventilation has
been gre atty improved, and all through
the building new pipes have been run

ment and force the air through the
chamber TO the roof above
The speed of these fans viii be in
creased when congress convenes, and il
is claimed by the experts who have il
in charge, that the change will cor
rect the evils that were complained of
At the last session. The plumbing
throughout the senate wing has been
altered in accordance with the report
of the experts appointed by the last
session, at cost OF 500. 600. and it is
hoped that the temperature and the air
win be greatly improved during this
session.
In the house side the same class of
work has been carried on and the
plumbing has been thoroughly over
hauled and changed The chamber OF
the house is ready. but as much can not
be said of the rest of the rooms al
though the end of the week will tind
things in pretty good condition.
The next house viii consist of $3.50
members, an increase Of twenty-five
over the kifty-second congress. In or
der TO accommodate these twenty-five
new seats have been provided, and ut
the same time the wants OF the future
have been anticipated by providing
eight additional seats. The new car
pet is a dark green design with GRIM
son figure, conventional in its charac-
ter relieved by an orange and cream
colorcd star.
The carpet was made from an ex-
elusive pattern by New York firm and
! 900 yards were required TO cover the
floor. The pattern. with the exception
of the touch of crimson, is a fac smile
of that used by the Forty-ninth and
Fiftieth congresses.
The desk and speakers table are COW

cloth, and in the press gallery Il new
carpet of the same design rs that placed
on the floor of the house has been put
down.
The conduits for the passage of air
that feeds both chambers have been
thoroughly cleaned out, and with in

PARIS, Aug. A council of the min
stry was held at the Palace of Elysee
Tuesday. NJ. De Vclle announced that
Prince Vaohana had siguified his gov
ernmeuts Willingness 70 concede the
supplementary guarantees demanded
bv France. VI. DeVelle also stated
that his interview Monday with Lord
Dufferin was based on the negotiations
which took place in 1889 between
Franco and Great Britain. which recog-
nized the principle OF buffer state
between the French and British pos
sessions in the east The question of a
neutral tone. NJ DeVelle added, had

The supplementary Jguarantee de-
manded 10y France from Siam, which
include the temporary custody OF the
river and port of Chantibun and that
Siam shall not establish military sta
tions in certain named places near the
Cam bobiaR frontier nor within a GER

LONDON, Aug 2.-The latest news
from Bangkok is very serious Siam,
having accepted the French terms,
Frances persistence in coercive meas
ures will be equivalent 10 an unpro-
volSed declaration of war. if not an
open demand for the cession of Siam.
The British foreign Office has
never been in a better or firmer hands
than now We have no desire TO at
tack France, but while Lord Rosebery
made up his mind from the first not to
assist or encourage the Siamese. he was
equally determined with the full APP
prevail of his colleagues TO protect the
commercial rights of his own country
men. He distinctly warned France
that British vessels could not be
stopped under blockade avowedly
pacific in character. II is quite impos-
sible for Great Britain TO withdraw the
ships she sent TO Bangkok for protect
i've purposes. We can not be accused
of exciting public feeling against
France. But moderation is one thing,
weakness another.
English and German gunboats en-
tered the Noman river Tuesday. They

CONFESSIONAL NOT SACRED.
Startling Decision Made by an English
Chief Justice.

Chief Justice.
LONDON, Aug. S.-Priestly circles are
considerably agitated over ruling
just made by Sir Frederick Jeune. chief
justice of the court of probate and di-
vorce, TO the effect that a minister of
the gospel has no right to plead priv
ilege when asked to state in court the
substance of a confidential commune
cation made to him in his sacred
capacity by one of his parish
oners. Hitherto it has been the
unwritten law in England as well
as many other countries that di-
vine shall not be compelled to disclose
such communications, and in cases
which occur almost weekly Roman
Catholic priests are excused from dis
closing statements made 70 them under
the sanctity of the confessional.
In the case in court the divine be-
longed TO the high church branch of
the Episcopal denomination, and was
in the habit of hearing confessions.
The court, however, compelled him to
disclose the information that had been
made TO him. Several Catholic priests,
who have been interviewed concerning
the decision, declare that they would
go 20 prison for contempt of court
rather than reveal the secrets of tina
confessional on the witness stand.
