The Aged Veteran succumbs from Sheer
Exhaustion-HiS Career.
New YORK, July 16.-General Ed
ward Jardlne, who has been critically
III for some time, died at one o'clock
this afternoon. His death was not un-
expected, but shortly before the end
came, his physician left the sick cham
ber. A few moments afterwards the
veteran suffered recurrence Of the
sinking spells which have pulled him
down at intervals during his Illness,
and he succumbed from sheer exhaus-
tiOn.
General Jardine was 65 years old, and
was q military man since he was old
enough TO carry musket. He fought
at South Mountain, Antietam, Freder-
icksburg, Camden, N. c., Roanoke
Island, Elizabeth City, Suffolk and In
other hard engagements, and was sew
eral times wounded. He came back a
Lieutenant Colonel in 1868, and when
the draft riots broke out here he gath
cred some OF the Seventh Regiment war
veterans and some members OF the
Hawkins Zouaves and marched against
a mob Of 15 900 persons. He received,
in skirmish that followed, wounds
which caused his death, full charge
entering his left knee and thigh. Since
then General Jardine has been forced to
undergo nine operations on his thigh,
the last one being made In October,

PARIS, July 16.-Rear Admiral HUI
mann, who was in command and when
he gunboat Inconstante and Comete
crossed the bar of the Menam river and
proceeded to Bangkok, has made orlel
report of the incident to the Govern
ment. The gunboats did not fire on
the Slamese forts at the rivers mouth,
he says, until the forts without any
warning or demand, had fired on the
gunboats.
M. Pavie, French Minister resident
in Bangkok, has been instructed to pro-
test against the firing from the forts as
an indefensible act, constituting vio-
lation of international law, inasmuch as
the friendly relations established, but
when France and Siam, by the treaty
OF 1856, has remained unippaired up to
that time.
The Secretary of the Siamese lega-
tlon in Paris denies, In an interview,
that the Siamese were the aggressorS
in the affair. The conflict was due, he
saws, to the fact that the French Com
mander misunderstood the orders OF
the government not to cross the bar

LONDON, July l5.-TGe Times cores

how both sides succeeded in avoiding hit

threatened to Kill all foreigners in the

harbor master, at once replied TO this
threat by presenting himself with the
avowal that he was German subject.
Thereupon the French captain collapsed
and sent an officer 10 return his visit.

Entire ignorance prevails here as TO

IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS
To the National Bank Act Recommended
by Banker Henry Clews.

by Banker Henry Clews.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-Comp-
troller Eekels has received the follow
ing letter from Henry Clews, the we'll
known banker:
The National Bank act certainly
should be amended to provide for notes
being issued up TO the par value OF
United States bonds, and another
amendment would also be wise 10 pro-
vide for al issue of notes against the
surplus capital Of the National banks
TO the extent Of rs per cent. thereof.
These two changes in the law would
make an increase In the national cur
rency amounting 70 about $50, 900
and would provide the nation with
enough new dough for its needs, and
Il would be the best and most legitl-
mate kind besides. New York banks
now have a surplus over capital OF S7O,-
600, 600. The national banks OF other
cities and elsewhere have probably $780,
OOO 600 in addition.
This backing in cash or its equiva-
lent 70 the notes issued against same
would make them the strongest and
most legitimate character of money In
circulation. No stronger kind of money
could be devised The surplus against
which the issue Of these notes would be
made. would be under the national bank
examiners. The constant increase in
the surplus Of the banks would also give
an elastic character to such money,
which is a very desirable feature"
