CHINA AGAINST FRANCE.
Siam Receives Support From an Tn
expected Quarter.

lien Tisn, July 2O.-Information has
been received here from Pekin to the
effect that China has taken measures
to support Siam as against the French.
Siam has for many years paid tri-
butte to China, but only as matter of
usage and convenience, and it is now
apparent that China Is determined to
assist the Siamese against French en-
croachments upon their territory.
The interference Of China will add a
Siamese dispute and will probably re-
suit in a modification Of some Of the
demands Of France as contained in her
uldmatum.

the reply will not be given out for

The number of Germans or children
of Germans you meet here is astonish-
ing. Hitherto, owing to high railroad
fares, the attendance at the fair has
been drawn chiefly from within a ra-
dius of 200 or 800 miles Of Chicago.
And this is the most German portion
of America. 1t is said that Chicago is
the third German city of the world,
being inferior only to Berlin and vi
emma in the number of people of Ger
man birth or descent. Milwaukee is
German city and Wisconsin is a Ger
man state. Illinois is almost half Ger
man by blood, and northern Indiana
is filled with Germans. But the ap-
pearance of these Germans illustrates
the assimilating powers Of Uncle Sam.
Nearly all the German visitors from
the country, unless recently from the
Fatherland, have lost the manners Of
the Germans. They look like the aver
age American farmer. Their children
are wholly American. All are beaten
and nodded into the Yankee shape and
pattern. When grown up they become
of the common American type, gen.
orally tall and thin, although large
boned and well muscled, with sharp,
eager faces, and habit Of running
their words together or chopping them
off at the ends, in order to save time.
The Scandinavians-the Swedes, the
Danes and the Norwegians- are here,
too, in considerable numbers. Like the
Germans, they are assimilated read

You meet interesting people on the
launches and gondolas. This is the
pleasantest method of travelling about
the grounds. Everybody tries it and
likes it. This gon-do-ly amt sech a

wife. 1t is a new thing in their ex-

Iy, and there are satisfied smiles on
their faces as the Venetian gentle
men in the varia gated costumes row
them about the lagoonS. Conversation
is free and easy on the launches. You
may never have seen your neighbor
before, but you can speak to him and
be sure of a pleasant rejoinder. The
launches are much affected by young
beauX and their sweethearts. a young
couple sat down in a launch a day or
two ago. They were very happy and
talked very much. They were from a
small city in Wisconsin, and were
college students. Their talk ran on
their studies. I'm going to take Eng

If you are tired of studying Ameri-
cans, you can turn your attention to
the foreigners. There is plenty OF OPP
portunity, for visitors from most of
the European countries have been fair
~ numerous. You can meet fresh
faced Englishmen in plaid clothes, tan
shoes and rajah hats almost any time.
They are just the same here as they
are on the Rhine or in Switzerland
or the other places where tourists ira
vel. They are astonished at nothing.
or at least appear to be. They do
the fair in the most matter-of-fact man
ner, and prefer to do it alone They
rarely make any comment, though
they have been forced to admit that
the fair is a great thing. Many Cana
dians-though one hardly thinks Of
them as foreigners-haye been here
Canadian day was recently celebrated,
and there was a good attendance of
people from the dominion. They Ecd
parades Of horse, foot and arliilely,
and many military evolutions. 1t has
been said by British writer's that the
British Canadians are physically the
finest people in America; that the in
habitantS of the United States are thin
her and weaker and suffer more from
nervous disorders. The Canadians who
paraded here showed no evidence of
physical superiority over the Ameri-
cans. They are not quite so tall, and,
while they may be somewhat fuller
in flesh, they are certainly no broader
in the shoulders and chest, and are no
more muscular Of limb. In fact, the
question of superiority in endurance
has been tested many times in battle
against each other by the Americans
and Canadians. Physical strength and
endurance is very important factor
in battle, as chiefly through it the
n@iish uniformly have overcome the
French. Take the record through and
through, neither the British nor the
Canadians have been able to outlast
t:it Americans on the fed of battle
But the Canadians are fine, muscular
fellows, and in their parades here they
made a showing Of which they have
a right to be proud.
The Russians and the Japanese are
the most appreciative and demonstra-
tive visitors. The cultivated Russians
like the Americans, and We're it neces-
sary they would see things through par
tial eyes. The JAPANESE as everybody
knows, are quick and bright They
have made a great display at the fair
They are observant, and they will car
~ home much new and useful know
ledge Of western arts and manners.
But there is one thing about every
body at the fair, whether the fakirs
outside or the visitors inside, that an
American likes to notice. All look well
fed. There are sharp and hungry
faces, but the owners hunger for other
things than food. There is nobody here
who would get down in the dust and
scramble for the scraps from a more
fortunate table. Nobody needs to be
told that this land of bountiful food.

The Columbian exposition is not
place for restraint and reserved man
ners. People are expected to become
part of the masses. Visitors from
the east follow the fashion. So do
those from Posey county, Ind. But
one admireS most the freedom and I'M
concern of the WeSternerS. There was
an excellent Illustration of this grace
full accommodation to circumstances
on the piazza Of the Indiana building
day or two ago. A young woman
from the HooSier state entered. She
was handsome and she wore an 1880
gown of the prevailing mode But
she was very tired. There was wick
er sofa on the piazza. 1t had a back
about a foot high, and this was CON
tlnued also at the ends, leaving nothing
open but one side. The young woman
placed shawl on one of the ends.
Then she lay down on the sofa, rested
her head on the shawl, elevated her
It on the other end Of the
Wickerwork, and in two minutes was
fast asleep, while her mother, who had
come soon afterWard, and a hundred
other persons sat approvingly by in
rocking chairs.

BY and by the Texas major sue
ceeds to their place. Thus far south
erners, except from the border states,
have not been very numerous. Rail
road rates have not been reduced. The
southern people are poor, comparative
", and they are waiting until fares
are more reasonable. But Texas is
not so poor as some other southern
states, and some Texans have been
here. The Texan major is a man Of
intense state pride. In this respect
he has no rival except the Californian.
California has an immense building
crammeI full of fruit and grain Cali
fornians honestly think the sun of the
fair rises and sets in that building.
Texas has building too, but it is not
so large. Moreover, it was not built by
the state, which made no appropriation
for the fair, but by private subscrip-
ton. Hence the Texas major must
vent state pride elsewhere. 1t must be
personifed in himself. He is Texas.
His eyes flash and his bosom swells
when he reflects that he comes from
the largest state in the union. There
is no other fact Of which he is so
proud. States may increase in popu-
lation, wealth and culture at more
rapid rate, but their square miles do
not grow No state can ever be larger
than Texas. The Texas major sees the
fair thoroughly. He rides in the sedan
and roller chairs, and on the launches
snd gondolas. He goes through the art
building, and sometimes he will surprise
you by his knowledge Of pictures. He
is a very good fellow, too, and If you
get acquainted with him he viii tell

The western maiden as seen on the
fair grounds is often pretty and bright,
but she lacks the carriage and outfit
of her New York sister, We always
think of the human figure achieving
its best development in the country.
But the finest female figures in America
are seen on the streets of New York
city. Nearly always you can tell a
New York woman here by her walk and
her dress. She is erect, throws her
shoulders back, holds her head up and
walks as if she were the queen of the
earth. She looks vigorous, muscular
and full of health. The western wo-
men are thinner and feebler. 1t may
be due to climate or to the lack Of
wholesome exercise, or to Il bad diet,
but it is a fact Doubtless it is a de-
feet that can be cured. They could
easily take lessons from their New
York sisters in the art of carrying them
selves. One sees too many women with

The matter Of dress is largely one of

men who come in here from the coun-
try districts or the small cities to have
as neat and trim an outfit as the wo-
men from New York.

In your travels about the grounds
you are likely to meet the typical north
western farmer. Mr.. Jones of Iowa,
for example. There are several mil
lions in this country just like Nh.
Jones. According to all the rules of
poetry since Horace first wrote about
the pleasures Of q country life, Mr..
individual. Feeding on fresh air, pure
milk and plenty of good beef and pork,
he should acquire the physical activity
and beauty that Hawthorne gave to
Donatello, who lived all his life in
the woods and glades. But Mr. Jones
is a man of good judgment and does
not boast of his personal pulchritude.
Working season after season in the
fields when the hot sun is blazing down
on the corn burns the brown into d
mans face, bends his shoulders and
twists his fingers. The American farm
er as he is seen here, no matter what
part of the country claims him, is a
sad and somber individual. There is
no more exacting employment than
life out of him. He has little enthu-
Siasm left for the remarkable in nature
Oh art. Doubtless he is interested in
what he sees, but he makes little COM
ment. He goes from one place to an
other With his wife and daughter, but
he leaves most of the talking to them.
He witholds his comments until he
meets some acquaintance, a farmer
like himself. Two of them stand to-
gether in front Of the art building and
talk Big fair, amt it?' Yes, Sarah
