LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Paris cores
pendent of news agency says that 1t
has been learned from good authority
that France demands as security from
Siam that the terms of the ultimatum
will be carried out, the temporary GUS
tody of Chantaboon, town near the
gulf of Siam; also that Siam shall es-
tablish no military stations in certain
named places near the frontier OF Cam

A dispatch from Bangkok, dated
Monday, Z p. m, says: 1.-THE uneasi-
ness among the people here, far from
lessening, is increasing. Seven more
French gunboats have arrived ut Khou
81 Chang, making n total of thirteen
now there. Negotiations are still go
ing on, but the progress made is not
reported. The intentions of the French
are awaited with fear and apprehen-
sion. Rear Adm. Human, command
ing the French squadron, has issued n
second blockade notice, to take effect
three days from Saturday. He will or
der the British warships Pallas and
Swift, now lying off Bangkok, to go
outside the blockade limits. NJ. Pavie,
the French minister resident, has gone
to Saigon, and Rear Adm. Human
is under direct orders from Paris. I'm
less the French government interposes
quickly, an attack on Bangkok seems
certain. The trading community is
surprised that Human is still allowed
free hand"
The Standard received the following
dispatch from its Paris correspondent:
lowing to the representation made to
NJ. Develle, the foreign minister, by
Lord Dufferin, the British ambassador
to France, the question of natural
zone between the French possessions in
the Siamese peninsula and British Bur-
nah and the Shan states has been set
tied satisfactorily. 1t has been agreed
that the French blockade of the Siam
csc coast will be raised immediately"
No confirmation of the foregoing has
been received up to late hour.

PORK TuMSLES.


Panic In the Chicago Pork Pit-Pork and
Lard Take Great Tumble Heavy Fall
ures.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The big deals in
pork and lard, which have held the
price of those commodities at inordi-
nately high figures for months, have
collapsed, accompanied by the an
nouncement of the failure of six proini-
nent houses concerned in them-J. q.
Steever, L. w. Bailey, A. c. Helmholtz,
Wright & Haughey, J. Cudahy and the
North American Packing Co.
The price of September pork dropped
in few moments almost 30 barrel.
1t was the most sensational decline
ever recorded on the board of trade.
There has been manipulation of
some sort in the pork market continu-
ously for almost a year. The corner
which was run by Wright and Cudahy
last fall was such phenomenal
success and made such enormous profits
to the bulls that She temptation to re-
peat the deal could not be resisted.
The manipulation was carried through
the spring and finally concentrated in
the september option. The people in
control figured on q small summer sup
ply of hogs and did not expect to have
to carry their deal against adverse in
fiuences of all sorts. But the money
troubles have come up and the summer
supply of hogs has been larger than
anybody expected, and the manipulate
ors found themselves carrying an enor-
nous dead weight, with everything
against them.
1t is thought that the holdings OF
pork through the three firms which
failed have exceeded 100, 900 barrels.
There was heavy selling of short ribs
as we'll as Of pork and prices declined a
dollar per hundred pounds in few mo-
ments.
After the excitement in pork was
over and the market began to quiet
down and to look serene, series OF
thunder claps fairly shook the board
of trade building. The failures of the
American Packing & Provision Co.,
one of the great packing firms, OF
Jack" Cudahy, the heavy packer and
daring operator in hog products, and
of Wright & Haughey, heavy receiv-
ers and shippers of grain. were an
nounced, creating the utmost conster-
nation. Prices began to tumble all
over the floor of the exchange. Lard,
which had been supported I'LL morning
at $500, dropped off to 1910, then to
50, then to 81, without trade, and
very quickly was down to SO, drop OF
IS. IS per hundred pounds, or $3.50 per
tierce since Mondays close. The an
nouncement was made that John
Cudahy had orderediall. Trades with his
own house closed. sThat increased the
excitement. Ribs dropped rapidly,
selling sl.25 lower than last nights
close.
The smash in the lard market sent
wheat down ut u rapid pace. From
0OIlc the September price dropped very
quickly to s5s11c and reacted little

Swallowed a Lemon Seed.
THE GERM SPROUTS IN A MANS sToM-
ACH AND CAUSES HIS DEATH.

A strange case is puzzling medical
practitioners Of Trimble, Tenn, and
the most prominent of the fraternity
from Memphis and Nashville. John
Henry Leake, a stalwart negro living
on the plantation of r l. Strong, a
week or two since ate lemon and
swallowed one of tine seeds, which, it
seems, lodged in his stomach, and, at
tracing to it certain proportion of
the food subsequently eaten by the
negro, was soon surrounded by clot
or mass of matter which gradually
grew larger. After short time Leake
began to suffer with acute pains IN the
region of the stomach and applied to
physician, who diagnosed his trouble
as indigestion and proceeded to treat
him for it.
But the pains increased and it soon
became a matter of impossibihty for
the sufferer to retain any food except
such as was administered in a liquid
form, and the doctor began 10 suspect
that the cause of the trouble lay be-
yond the ordinary phases of indiges-
ton, and declared an operation
necessary. 1t was with great deal
Of difficulty that Leake was prevailed
on to submit to this, but he finally
consented
The surgeons thoroughly explored
the abdomen and intestines, but with
out finding any disturbing object,
though it was observed that the stom-
ach was distended to nearly twice its
normal size. Leake finally died in
great agony, with repeated efforts TO
vomit, which continued until death
ensued. A post mortem examination
revealed the fact that the seed had
sprouted from the mass surrounding
it, and, putting out shoots, had actually
attacked the walls of the stomach as a
creeping plant does wall.
