THE SIAM TREATY.
The Little Kingdom Treated with Appar-
emily Scant Consideration.

The Little Kingdom Treated with Appar-
emily Scant Consideration.
BANGKOK, Oct 4.-The convention
annexed to the franciscan treaty pro-
poses six articles. Some of these are
regarded as in conflict with existing
treaties and the Siamese government
strongly objected to them, only yield
ing under the strongest pressure. Ow-
ing to the critical state of the negotia-
tions yesterday, the festivities which
had been arranged to celebrate the an
niversary of the kings accession to the
throne were abandoned.
The new treaty provides that Siam
shall not construct any fortified port
in the province of Battambang and
Siamreap, or within twenty-five kilo-
meters of the right bank Of the Me-
kong. The Siamese military posts on
the left bank of the river and on the
islands in the river are to be evacuated
within a month. The authors Of the
attacks on the French in Kong Khan
and Kammowan will be tried by the
Chinese authorities, France reserving
the right to decide whether the punish
ments imposed are adequate and, If
thew are not, to demand new trial to
be conducted by mixed tribunal, if
necessary. Siam must surrender all
French subjects now held in prisons on
the left bank of the Mekong and all
French arms and flags in possession Of
the Siamese must be delivered up to
the French legation.
The clause providing for trial under
French supervision of the Siamese con-
cerned in the Kong Khan incident
which resulted in the massacre of NJ.
Grosdurin, French inspector of native
militia, by the Siamese mandarin. and
the Kammowan incident which relates
to the capture of Capt Thoren, is espe-
cially denounced by foreign residents
as in complete violation of treaty
rights, and the prolonge ed occupation
of Chanta boon is regarde as endanger-
ing the Independence Of Siam.

d Switchn,an's' Desperate Effort to Crafty
n drudge Against the santa Fe.
DENVER, Col, Oct 4.-John Nj. Quig-
ley, alias Reilly, a switchman who has
until recently worked for the Denver IL
Rio Grande railroad ut Pueblo, made
two desperate attempts last evening to
wreck the Nellie BLY,, the Chicago flyer
on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road. Had he succeeded great loss OF life
would doubtless have occurred, as there
were seventy-five passengers on the
train. Both attempts were made near
the Union depot yards. Quigley threw
a switch before the incoming train, but
an employee of the yards was within a
few feet of him and replaced the switch
n second or SO before the train rolled
BY. Quigley escaped, and two officers
were sent after him.
The Nellie BY had unloaded its hu'
man freight and was on its way to the
round house when Quigley suddenly
appeared near the place of the first at
tempted wreck, and raised heavy iron
bar for the purpose of throwing it un-
der the wheels of the train. The Of
ficers, who were on the lookout for
him, caught him by the arms and the
iron bar fell to the ground harmless,
the train again escaping by a mere
scratch. He was arrested and charged
with attempted murder. Quigley says
he wanted to get even with the road
because they had blacklisted him.
Great Indignation exists among the
railroad men,

SECRETARY CARLISLE REPLIES.
He Tells the House Why He Did Not Make
silver Purchases.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-Secretary Car
Isle has sent to the house his reply TO
the resolution of that body asking him
why 4, 200, 900 ounces of silver bullion
was not purchased during July and
August as required by law. The reply
says that as the United States is the
largest purchaser of silver in the world,
the secretary after an examination of
the offers and quotations each day
should determine what in his Judgment
is fair market price.
He either has to purchase $500, 900
ounces at the dealers price, no matter
how unreasonable or exorbitant il may
be, or he must employ such means at
his command to ascertain the actual
market price. The effort of the de-
partment since June IL has been to
simply ascertain the face market price
of the bullion on each day 1t was Of
fered for sale and when ascertained to
make purchases at that price.

VACATIONS AT SEA.
In Spite of n Few Drawbacks They Are
Beneficial to Landsmen.

In Spite of n Few Drawbacks They Are
Beneficial to Landsmen.
A variety of circumstances combine
to invest the holiday spent at sea under
ordinarily favorab BILE conditions with
composite charm which is something
peculiar in itself and which must be
felt in order to be rightly appreciated.
The panoramic survey of surrounding
nature, the unsurpassed purity OF the
atmosphere, the society OF agreeable
companions, the regularity of daily
life and, finally, the fact that physical
rest is compelled, while access to busi-
ness is forbidden by the existing con-
ditions, unite in forming q total OF
leisured recreation which requires no
filter prelude than hard work for its
enjoyment
For all the reasons above given a
week or two so spent should furnish
the busy practitioner with an admir-
ably suitable method of relaxation.
Interruption and irregularity are at all
times characteristic of his calling.
Neither in regard to sleep, meals or
home life does he enjoy the privilege
of certainty which is common to most
other men. Add to this fact that every
day he lives brings him into contact
with much that is anxious and respon-
sible in work, and we need be ut no
loss to explain why the freedom
blended with order which are
found on shipboard constitute for
him restorative influence OF
much value. We admit that there are
drawbacks to travel by sea- Its famil-
lar physical disturbances need only be
mentioned; its occasional monotony
cannot be denied. It's constant subjec-
ton to the action of climate, season
and weather must now and then prov"
depressing.
The accommodation provided even
ON the shorter routes is often excel
lent, though better adapted, perhaps.
for travellers of the sterner than of the
fairer sex. We feel certain, therefore.
that q pleasant trip Of the kind ind'.
Gated will commend itself as the
season advances to any Of our medical
brethren who may choose in this way
TO combine the enjoyment Of well
earned rest with the interest of novelty

CANCER of an ir.imeri,1inate use CT the
Numerous baking powders nowodays
1ound upon evdsy,haad, and which are
urged upon consumers with such, per-
sistency by peidlers and many grOcers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most; of these powders are
made from sharp and aanstic acids and
lalkalies which. burn and inflame the
f alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartbOyn, Earrheeal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid caustic potash,
\ burnt alum, all are, used as gas-produe-
ing agents in such baking pc wders.
Most houseAeepess' are aware If the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals ere. applied TO the external
flesh, Howmuch more acute mnst be
theiracticn upon the delicate Internal
membranes! Yet unscrupulous, manu-
facturers do NOT hesitate to use,them,
because they make q very Dw-cost
powder, nor to urge the use sft their
Yowdersso made, by all kinds Of allur-.
ing advertisements and false, repre-
sensations. All the low-pricsd or So
called cheap baking powders, and all
! powders sold with a gift or Hpixe, be-.
long to this class.
Baking powders made from. chemical
ly pure cream of tartar and bi.carbon-
ate of soda are among the most useful
Of modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation of finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the digestibility
and wholesomeness of our food. But
baking powders must be composed Of
such pure and wholesome ingredients
or they must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the doc.
tor of Hygiene indicates that the ad-
vantages of good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers OF
bad ones in which the harsh and caus-
tic chemicals are used, are to be Sc.
cured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. "The
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream Of tartar and soda refined to
chemical purity, which when combined
under the influence of heat and mois..
ture produce pure carbonic, or leaven'
ing, gas. The two materials used;
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
/ h.rmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined inseS-
act compensatlng weights, so that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically o,s,
appear, the substance q both having
been taken to form carbonic acid gas"
Hence it is. he says, that the Royal
Baking Powder is the most perfect OF
all conceivable agents for leavening
purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those
of well-lslown, pure, and wholesome
character siinpl- for the sake Of few
cents a pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warning seem
to be necessary.
