the Siamese AFFAIR brought France aud
Gr.st Britain much nearer ho>tili,ie.
than the public have realized The
earl II Ro~~h~ry. British foreign sec
r~tary, has had virtually n free hand
in the negotiations with France. and
he has found an able supporter in the
marquis of DuYerin. British ambassa-
dor in Paris Each has maintained .
dignifed attitude far removed from
bluster. but firm beyond any misun-
derstanding. Together they impressed
upon the French official mind unmis
sakably their intention not to let any
body ride roughshod over British inter
ests in the east Great Britain's protest
that the blockade of the Siamese coast
was Illegal and her suggestion that in
reference with British
wouid not he tolerated. were made
with such unqualified plainness that
the French ministers were scbered 1t
" and conceded the business Of the
British contention
There seems little doubt that q pa
cife settlement will be accomplished
shortly That such il the cas- il at
tributed no less to Great Britain's atti-
tude than In Sinntx surrpndsr II.
