feat for England.
The Times has no leader on the subject.
Its Bangkok correspondent telegraphs:
When the French seized the Siamese
mail steamer Chantaboom, the native
crew were unaware of the blockade.
They were panic-stricken, and deserted
the ship. Thereupon the French boarded
her and ran her aground. The seizure is
regarded as illegal.
The Paris correspondent of the Post
telegraphs: The strongest outside influ-
ence is being brought to bear on Develle
by the principal members of the Colonial
party, especially Etienne, Delcasse and
Delancte, 10 make him adopt a more hos
tile attitude toward the English claims
than he is personally inclined to adopt.
They are furious because a French pro-
tectorate has not been created at Siam.
The Post says it understands a meet
ing of the Cabinet is to be held Monday
to consider the question arising from the
Slamese difficulties. Slams acceptance,
says the NelCS, by no means settles the
difficulty between France and this coun-
refusal to recognize the blockade, the
NeUS continues: within the forty eight
hours which ended at midnight the whole
question of the blockade and the presence
of the British vessels at Bangkok as
sumed the gravest aspect"
GREAT BRITAIN's INTERVENTION.
New YORK. July 9O.-The World'S
Paris correspondent learned to-day from
the British Embassy here that in the ne
gotiations over the Siamese affair the
British Government is insisting that
France shall not annex territory north
of the eighteenth parallel of
latitude ceded to Siam on con-
ditiOn that it should never be
ceded to any other Government. There
is no doubt at the Embassy that France
will give way sooner or later, the case
being so clear to British eyes. This point,
as far as the knowledge of the Embassy
goes, is the only one which England has
made the subject Of Intervention.

gained many brilliant victories on the

has made. but because he desires to carry
into effect the Democratic policy, and the
Democratic policy, he believes, is that
which has been determined upon as best
by tie administration.
Whether Bland goes to the head of the
Coinage Committee or not, that commit
tee will favor the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman Act. AS to Bland himself,
1t is not yet determined that he VIII again
be Chairman. If he is appointed Chair
man, the majority of his committee will
not be in sympathy with his free-coinage
sentiments.
The leading committees of the House
Will all be in accord with the Presidents
views. In other words, the House of the
tltty-third Congress will be differently
organized from the House of the Fifty
second Congress.
Crisp has expressed his purpose to
members of the administration to so or
ganize his committees that they will be
helpful to the Presidents wishes. Crisp
could not be elected without a contest,
possibly not at all, if he had not been thus
inclined for unity OF action with the ad-
ministration.
Besides the changes in the Coinage
Committee there will be radical changes
in the complexion OF the Ways and

CRISP INTERVIEWER
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Speaker Crisp
arrived in this city this evening. Speak
ing generally of the condition of affairs
in the South. the Speaker says there is a
feeling of distrust and the same hard
times that characterize the whole coun-
try. Crisp hopes some way will be
speedily found by bankers OF the cot
ton States to supply funds to get the cot
ton to market. When asked whether the
distrust was due TO the existence Of the
sherman law, Crisp replied that it was
certainly due to want of public conf
den"e, but exactly what caused the condi-
tlon he was not prepared to say.
Crisp was not inclined to talk freely on
the probability Of the repeal Of the Sher-
man law, and does not say whether he
believes it will be repealed or not. Crisp
would not say how he stood upon the
proposition to repeal the law and enact
'UC9b4tubS biOHiiluS lOI Tree coinage OF
American silver at an increased ratio. 1t
was only after full consideration of the
different propositions that might be made
that Crisp thought a final result would be
reached, but what that result would be
he would not venture to predict
While the Speaker has given the sub
ject OF the composition of the committees
more or less attention, he said he would
probably not announce them for two
weeks after Congress began, for in the
meantime ne desired to confer with mem
bers as to their wishes. Crisp expects
the President to bring the tariff promi-
nently before Congress, either coupled
with the question of finance or in sub
sequent message bearing directly u2on
the subject. He looks forward to a long,
arduous session of Congress.
