FRANCO SIANESB AFFAIR.
France Will Blockade the Siam
csc Coast at Once.
THE POWERS NOTIFIED.
French Minister Resident Leaves Bang.
kOk on Wednesday.
All french Subjects in the City VIII Be
Placed Under Protection of the
Dutch ConsuI-The Position
of Great Britain.

PARIS, July 24.-The government has
not yet notified the powers of her inten-
ton TO blockade the Menam river. 1t is
stated that the French minister has been
ordered to leave Bangkok in twentyfour
hours.
The government this afternoon notified
the powers OF its intention to blockade
the Siamese coast without prejudice to
other measures to secure guarantees to
which France is entitled. A cabinet
council to decide on additional measures,
will be held tomorrow. Arrangements
are being made with another government
for the protection of French subjects du-
ring the absence of the French.
| A Bangkok telegram says: NJ. Pavias
the French minister resident, has lowered
the flag over his Office and has notified
the Siamese government that he will leave
the city to go aboard the French war
| ship IncOnstante on Wednesday. he has
requested the government to provide pi-
lots to conduct the Lutin and Compile
down the river. The French subjects in
Bangkok will be placed under the pro-
! lection of the Dutch consul.
The Liberte newspaper says: France
/ will seize Battambang and ADgOra as
guarantees that her demands will be sat-
isfied.
| Temps says the beginningo of the block
ade will be deferred till Thursday or
Friday to enable France to take the steps
prescribed by international law. Besides
a blockade military operations will be
opened shortly.
| Liberte says: The French gunboats
probably will go down the River Hill and
destroy Paknsm forts and then return to
their positions before Bangkok to bonn
bard the palace. Some painful measures
are necessary, adds this journal, for the
preservation of frances prestige. A
majority of the Partisan newspapers de-
vote as much space to a denunciation OF
England as to the matter at issue.

WHITE METAL IN ENGLAND
Feeling Strong Against the Ac-
ton of the Government.
A LETTER ON THE SUBJECT.
The Action of Great Britain Towards
India Condemned.
What the Aim of the lIonied Glasses ana
the London Press Is-Hope for Free
Coinage of Silver in the
United States.

NEW YORK, July M.-Richard Lacy re-
ceived letter on the silver question from
Richard Lacey Everett, M. P. Cable re-
ports of the proceedings in parliament
mentioned Everett several times as inter-
rogating Gladstone. Everett's letter is as
follows: s'Feeling that the many friends
of the free coinage of both metals in En-
gland, both to be full legal tender, is
strong against the action of the govern
ment and to India:
First-Because it has taken step OF
worldwide Importance without consult
ing parliament, though parliament was
sitting at the time.
Second-Bcause having in the early
part of the session Indignantly denounced
any ''tampering with the currency" it
has moi tempered with it in way that
rests upon no principal and that will adj
versely affect the dumb helpless millions
of India.
Third-Because it did all 1t could to
Illustrate the coming to an international
agreement as to silver and gold at Brus-
sells, while it now seeks to carry out bas-
| tard bimetallism between India and En-
gland by their Joint action alone.
Fourth-Because having rallied at the
folly OF the idea of attempting to fix an
artificial value for one metal, it is now
aiming to do that very thing.
| Fifth-Because further new demand fol
gold would be created by what is pro-
posed, SO artificially further raising the
value of that metal, and by consequent
forcing down of the prices of commodi.
| ties to a further depression of industry
and adding to the burden of all debts.
Sixth-Because new difficulties will bt
created between India and China, Japar
and other silver using countries.
| Seventh-Because the new policy tend:
to restrict the supply of money instead o
| leaving it free and automatic.
| We look anxiously now to see what thu
United States will do. We earnestly hop'
free coinage at the same ratio viii b,
America answer. The supreme aim o
| the moneyed classes and the Londol
press is to restrict. the supply OF money
SO as to enrich the owners of i
at the expense of the raisers O
produce and owners of land and othe
real property. We hope the sharp intel
gence of your people, in the main 1
nation of producers and land owners
will see through this cruel game of tn
moneyed classes and Illustrate it. TIL
miseries of the agricultural classes her
are indescribable, but they do not clearl,
see why it is their prices are forced down
| to their ruin, SO that it is difficult to ge
them to move with the American farmers
who are sharper. l hope our salvation
will come from you.

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO?

Senator Henderson Is Interviewed on the
Extra Session.
CHICAGO, July Ex-senator Henderson
in an interview tonight said: '.The
first thing Congress should and probably
will do is to pass a joint resolution that
the government will keep every silver
and paper dollar on a parity with gold,
That will go long way in
settling tho unrest and feeling
of distrust. The senator believes
in the free coinage of silver with a change
of ratio. We know, said he, that the
to % or 25. Fix the coinage at the mar
ket ratio and the question is settled.
''Candidly, don't think the Sherman
act had much to do with the present con-
dition of affairs. 1t is only scare among
the people and not condition.

EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS.

The Question, ssWhat Shall BE Taught in
Public Schools" Discussed.
CHICAGO, July 24.-In the General Ed
vocational congress today the question of
what shall be taught in the public schools
was broadly discussed by Bisnop Fallows,
Professor Frances Parker, Thomas David
son of New York, and General Frances
Walker and Thomas j. Morgan,
a local socialist and labor agi-
tator. Morgan made an interesting
address, starting out with declaration
that there are 900 children in Chicago
for whom there are not seats in public
schools. A large majority of working
men, he said, are SO ignorant and debased
that they demand nothing for their chill
dren but the three RS. The beginner IN
should be taught to think and that sys-
tenn of education should be adhered to
until he gets through school.

The Ex-United States Treasurer Is Forced
to suspend.
CoNNERsvILlE, Ind, July a. The
Citizens bank, owned by ex-United
States Treasurer Huston, has failed. No
statement OF assets or liabilities. De-
positors will, it is said. be paid in full.
Mr.. Huston says none of the depositors
or creditors will lose cent. that his per-
sonal property will more than cover the
liabilities, NOT to mention real estate; that
it will not affect any industry in which he
is interested; that the cause OF suspen-
sion was baseless rumors that he was in
terested in foreign speculations and los
ing heavily. Ali he asks is little time.
Houstons enemies circulated malicious
and slanderous falsehoods that he was
specializing in Chicago margins. This
coming about the time of great financial
unrest made the business of the ex-United
States treasurer's affairs very serious.
Liabilities are about $3.50, 600. Houston IS
total assets will reach near $500, 900.
