LONDON, July 30.-The various papers
comment on the Siam affair according to
their attitude toward the government.
The Graphic says: On the surface it
looks as II Great Britain had
received a check to her pres.
tige in only arranging 80 as
efecutally to safeguard British CONNER
cial interests. Now a protectorate over
the whole of Siam west of the Mekong
is necessary to restore this prestige.
Anything short of this will be q humil-

Siamese mail steamer Chantaboon, the
native crew were unaware of the block

boarded her and run her aground. The
seizure is regarded as illegal.

CONGRESSIONAL OPINION.

The Repeal of the Sherman Law o Fore
gone Conclusion.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Among the
congressman who have arrived here 60
far the opinion seems to be unanimous
that the Sherman law must be repealed,
but what shall follow is an unknown
quantity.
Representative GeaBy of California
said today he always has been opposed
to the Sherman act; it is vicious and
time does not improve it. OF course
some subsequent legislation will be nec-
essary, but he was not prepared to say
what it will be. He is satisfied, how.
ever, that the Sherman law will 90, and
in its stead we will have something of
benefit instead of harm. Geary added
that in place of the present tariff law
the chances are that we will have one
new from top to bottom, with very rsdi-
cal changes in schedules. This country,
he said, expects this.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania also
thought the silver purchase clause Of
the Sherman act should be repealed.

FRANCOIS ATTITUDE.

A Cabinet Criais Over the Siamese Set
Element Threatened.
PARIS, July 30.-A meeting of the
ministers to consider Slams acceptance
of frances ultimatum was held at the
Elysee this evening. President Carnot
presiding. After deciding to accept ST.
ANS concession. the ministers
deferred definite action until
measures should have been
taken to guarantee Slams fulfillment of
the French demands. They took steps,
hQWever, to Inform Pavie. the French
minister resident, now at Koh-si- Chang,
OF Slams acceptance of the ultimatum
and the consequent action today of the
council. Another meeting for the dis
cussion OF the steps necessary in settling
the boundary question between France
and Great Britain will be held Tuesday.
Despite official denials, reports Of
cabinet dissersions multiply. It is said
that last Wednesday Under Secretary
Delcasse proposed treaty with Siam
on the line Of Frances policy toward
Madagascar, q protectorate to be estab.
lished and all of Slams relations with
other states settled through the French
government. si.-s s-sts- s--s-sss s@s ~, = i
Develle replied hotly that snch 4 pro-
posal was not to be considered by the
present ministry. He himself had
pledged the government publickly to
respect Slams independence, and rather
than violate his pledge he would re-
sign.
Delcasse proposed the occupation of
Angkor and Battambang, as an al
tentative.
Develle refused TO agree to this, hold
ing that he would only consent to q
pacific blockade.
Next day Delcasse informed Pre-
mier Dupuy of his intention to resign
because he was convinced that pacific
blockade was inadequate. The differ
ences between himself and Develle,
however. were. partially adjusted, but
he 10 known to be dissatisfied and on the
point of resigning.
These reports have induced the ad-
vanced radical newspapers to attack
Develle on the grovnd that he has
knuckled under to Great Britain. What
ever effect these attacks may have on
domestic politics, it is reasonably cer-
tain they will not interfere with the set
tlement of the Siamese question virtu.

WASHINGTON, July 30.--Speaker Crisp
arrived in the city this evening. Speak
ing generally OF the condition of affairs
in the south, the ex-speaker says there
is feeling of distrust and the same
hard times that characterize the whole
country. Crisp hopes some way will be
speedily found by the bankers Of the
cotton states to supply funds to get the
cotton crop to market. When asked
whether the distrust was due to the
existence OF the Sherman law, Crisp re-
piled that it was certainly due to the
want OF public confidence, but exactly
what caused the condition he was not
prepared to cay.
Crisp was not inclined to talk freely
on the probability of the repeal of the
Sherman law, and does not say whether
he believes it will be repealed or not,
Crisp would not cay how he stood
upon the proposition to repeal the law
and enact substitute providing for the
free coinage of American silver at an in
creased ratio. 1t was only after q full
consideration of different propositions
that might be made that Crisp thought
final result would be reached, but
what the result would be he would not
venture to predict.
While the speaker had given the sub.
ject of the composition of the commit.
tees more or less attention, he said he
probably would not announce them for
two weeks after congress began, for. in
the meantime. he desired to confer with
the members as to their wishes.
