FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
Nervous Dopositors Crowd New York Saw
 hlAs Hanks.


 NEW YORK, Aug. l.--At all of the banks here an unusual number of nervous de positors want their money. More than three quarters of these are women. At the east side banks, where the depositors are mostly forcigners, the run is heaviest.
 There Is no alarm among the savings banks officials over the situation. They all declare that they are mors than able to meet with their cash balances the demands that will now be made upon them, They expect that the excitement among the ig- norant depositors will subside by the end of the week at least.
 This confidence on their part is warrant ed by the actions of depositors at the banks. At many of the banks the amount of money paid in did much to offset what .was drawn out. At one of the largest banks the amount deposited was almost one-half as large as the amount drawn out. About all of the Brooklyn savings banks insisted on the rule requiring notice of the withdrawal of deposits, but only In case of demands for over S100, and smaller sums were paid out freely.
 There were crowds before the windows of nearly all the banks when they opened for business, but there was no evidence of panic. There were complaints heard of the enforcement of the 90 day notice rule, but there was very little excitement, and the special policemen who were detailed at the banks had nothing to do but to keep peo- ple in line

 It is stated here that England protested to France that her threatened blockade of the Siamese coast would not be legal act and that France conceded the point made by Great Britain. France, it is said, was willing to agree that British commerce would in no way be interfered with by the French warships.

 LONDON, July 2s-The Standards Paris correspondent says:
 II gather that M Develle and Lord Duff ferin have agreed to compromise on the frontier question. The newspapers have no inkling of this and are as aggressive as ever"
 Sir Charles Dilke said in an interview this evening he believed that the Marquis of Dufferin and M. Develle had reached an agreement by which France would aban- don her claims to the upper Mekong. "Of course" he added, ''the surrender will be glossed over by some form of compromise, but I cannot imagine England's agreeing to anything else"
 BANGKOK. July 2s.-Notice was given of the blockade by the French fleet. Outgo- ing vessels have been warned that they must clear from Bangkok and Koh-si- Chang before Saturday or submit to deten- tion. The blockade will extend along the entire north coast of the gulf of Siam.
 The general expectation is that early in August the French fleet will attack Bang kok and land some 5000 men. There is lit- tie doubt here that Frances purpose is to make Siam French colony.

 LONDON, July 29-The London core spondent of The Times telegraphs:
 The prompt enforcement of the blockade, which virtually damages only Great Brit ain, has seemingly convinced the Siamese that the assumed friendly attempt at in- tervention by Great Britain in Paris has not availed to modify the hard conditions of the ultimatum. Siam therefore will probably concede immediately the last difference remaining between her and France by accepting the ultimatum pure and simple. Siam has not received the slightest official support from Great Brit ain throughout the diff1culty.

The French Accept.

PARIS, July 31.-A cabinet meeting, with
 President Carnot presiding, was held at
 the Elysee. The decision was that Siam's
 offer to concede the demands of Siam's ul-
 timatum be accepted.
 BANGKOK, July 31.-While the govern
 ment of Siam accepted without reservations
 Frances ultimatum, it received previously
 the assurance that the kingdom would
 not be dismembered until after the con
 sideration by all powers concerned of
 Frances demand for the territory between
 the eighteenth and twenty-third parallels.
 It is somewhat remarkable that before
 Prince Vadhama, Siamese minister in
 Paris, could have received his instructions
 to accept the ultimatum, Great Britain's
 refusal to recognize the blockade had be-
 come known in this city.
 The blockade is still maintained by the
 Forfait, Lotin, Inconstante, Comete and
 Lion. The British warships Pallas and
 swift remain at the Menam bar, inside
 the blockade limits. The British govern
 ment mail has been allowed to pass, but
 mercantile correspondence with Siamese
 firms has been cut off An effort is msk- ing. therefore, to render efficient an over
 land postal service via Tavoy and Ran goon.
 Rear Admiral Humann has arrived at dU same port, all negotiations subsequent to the rupture have been carried on direct ly with Paris.
 The French have seized the Siamese mail steamer Chantaboon and the Hong Kong steamer Phra Chula, with 400 Chi nese aboard her. The Phra Chula eventu- ally was allowed to land her passengers and cargo at Bangkok. She will sail for Hong Kong today.

SOMETHING TO BE sNsEzEp AT.
Ten Million Pounds of SNUFF Used Annu-
ally In the United States.

1t seems surprising to learn the fact
that twenty years ago 4, 600, 900 pounds
OF snuH per annum were consumed in
this country. Much more astonishing
is the circumstance that during the
fiscal year ended July /, 1892, 10,O0O,-
600 pounds of snuff were used in the
United States. Yet how rarely is it
that one sees pinch of snuff taken!
The mystery was explained yesterday
by the New York agent for a great
snutf manufacturing concern. Ac-
cording to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette he SAYS:
Nearly all Italian and German mu-
sic teachers use snuff. Likewise the
Roman Catholic clergy. The priests
say that they get into the habit dnr-
ing long sessions in the confessional,
where they must sit for hours together
and take snuff in order to occupy
themselves and keep awake. avoiding
sneezing. The true srur ;aker does
not sneeze. Old-fashioneG Germans,
who came to this country long time
ago, almost invariably take snuff. In
beer saloons where people of their race
congregate You will commonly see on
the counter a box of snuff for general
use. 1t is of black snuff that | have
spoken thus far-highly scented with
rose, bergamot and pungent doors.
"But the snuff that is chiefly used
and manufactured in this country is
of the yellow or brown kind. Some of
it is sailed and some plain. hut very
little of it is scented. Ii is used to an
immense extent in the south by
negroes and poor whites for dipping
The snuff dipper moistens little stick
in water or alcohol, dips it in the
snuff, makes little ball and puts it
between the lips and the teeth. The
habit is an unpleasant one, bat is prac-
ticed in the south by women as COM
monty as by men. In fact, the con-
sumption of snuff in this country is
chiefly by dipping and The bulk of the
tobacco manufactured in this shape is
consumed below Mason and Dixon's
line. Yellow snuff is used largely by
the Canadian French girls who COM
pose majority of the employees in the
cotton mills all over the United States,
particularly in New England.
Snuff should be made from the leaf
stalks of the tobacco plant only, though
much inferior material is mixed vii h
the cheaper kinds. Havana and Sum-
atra tobaccos are preferred. The fla
workings employed are kept strictly
secret. Much care has to be taken in
the processes of compromising, mas
much as no class of tobacco consumers
are so fastidious as snuff-takers. The
Scotch are great users of snuff 1t
was a Scotchman who once asked a
big-nosed stranger if he took snuff,

marked: What a pity; you have such
