Important Communications Pass Between

VIII Pay Indemnity in Fun.

LONDON, July 21.-In the commons to-
day the parliamentary secretary of for
eign affairs said the terms Of the ultima
tum sent by France to Siam, as. con-
tanned in the telegram from Bangkok,
agreed with those communicated to Great
Britain by France, though more in de-
tail. He could not say at present
in what sense or with what geographical
limitations the French demands were
made. He expected early information
from Lord Dufferin, ambassador to
France. The government could not at
preset announce any definite steps to be
taken in the matter, but was most de-
sirous OF friendly settlement of the dis
pute.
Ashmead Bartlett pressed the govern
ment to obtain an extension OF the period
granted in frances ultimatum. The
secretary said he did not think such in
reference would conduce TO a friendly
settlement. Cries of "Hear, hear. ~
Bartlett suggested that frances threat
might become an accomplished fact be-
lore Great Britain received Frances an
sWer.
The secretary replied that Great Britain
was only interested in territorial arrange
ments, and on this, the government was
still in communication with France. No

Important communications passed to-
day between the foreign Office and British
Minister Jones IN Bangkok, and Vice
Admiral Tremantle, commander OF the
Chinese division fleet, who fastened TO
Singapore with the greatest part of his
squadron. Great Britain has informed
Siam that she could not recognize any
obligations to assist her. In territorial
arrangements, however, Great Britain
will have a voice.
The Bangkok correspondent of the
Times says concerning frances ulti-
matum: Europe, and especially Great
Britain, should know that the French
territorial demand represents 90, eco
square miles. 1t includes provinces
that Burmah ceded to Siam on condition
that 1t should never be coded to any other
power, and 80, 600 miles of Northeastern
Siam, into which the French have never
advanced. In fact France demands the
Acknowledgement and ruin of Siam.
These French demands confirm what was
stated from the outset, namely: Frances
attack on Siam is in reality directed
against England, although that country
hitherto has been loyal and friendly to
her in Siamese AFFAIRS

.RETRBNCHNENT THEORDBR
General Reduction in Expenses
of the Comstock Mines.
OFFICERS WAGES ARE CUT.
A Request for Reduction in the Wages
OF Miners.
The Intention Is if the Desired Decrease
In Expenses Can BE nIade to Put
1000 Men at Work in All the
Comstock Properties

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-There is to
be general retrenchment in the expenses
of the Comstock mines. Officers wages
are cut down one half, and railroads,
lumber and water companies will be
asked to make reductions in charges to
enable the mines to be worked at profit.
At the annual meeting OF the Savage
Mining company, the superintendent of
the mine who had been receiving $500 per
month was cut down to $500. The presi-
DENTS salary which has been $3.50 was re-
duced to S125. The clerk at the Virginia
Office was cut down from 5000 per month
TO 500. These reductions were volun-
tarily made in the interest of retrench-
ment.
Charles II. Fish will leave this city for
the Coms5ock tonight on important bust
ness connected with the Consolidated
California and Virginia, Ophir, Mexican,
Union Consolidated and Sierra Nevada
mining companies of which he is presi-
dent. 1t is understood that one of the
objects of his trip is to look into the feas-
ability of shutting down the c.. and Q.
shaft and working most of the mines
named through the Ophir shaft which
has been put in good order. If this can
be done adyantageously it will effect
great saving OF expenses for all these
mines. 1t will not be necessary to hoist
the waste rock 10 the surface, for that can
be sent out through the Sutro tunnel un-
der existing contract with the tunnel
company.
On the same train that will carry Mr..
Fish will also go five important docu
ments. They will be addressed to the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad company,
Virginia and Gold Hill Mining company,
Sierra Wood and lumber company, and
Miners and Mechanics unions of Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill. They contain a re-
quest that the charges OF these corpora
tions and wages of miners and mechanics
be reduced to conform with the reduction
| in salaries of all officials connected with
the mining companies which has been
agreed upon. The signatures of the pres
ident and secretary of every company on
the Comstock are fixed to these docu-
ments.
Accompanying each is letter asking
that the requests be considered and re-
| ply made as early as possible. Ii the de-
sired reduction in expenses can be made
1 ,000 men Will be put to work in the
mines, and vast quantities of ore assay
ing from $12 to $50 per ton, containing q
high per centage OF gold, can be ex-
tracted and made to yield fair profit.
The number of miners actually at work
in the Comstock at present does not ex-
coed 225. II expenses cannot be reduced
and the companies find that they cannot
collect assessments they will be COM
PEELED to close down all the mines.

4 FAMOUS MURDER TRIAL.
Intense Excitement at Fresno,
Cal, Preceding a Verdict.
JURY UNABLE TO AGREE.
After Being Out Thirty.six Hours
They Are Discharged.
a Very Sensational Crime for Which the
Son of a Prominent California
Family Was Tried for His Life
"A Suicide Theory.

FRESNO, CAL, July 21.-For two days
there has been intense excitement here
while people were awaiting the verdict
the jury in the case of Richard Heath,
charged with the murder of Louis e. Me-
Whittier. The jury has been out since
yesterday morning and late this afternoon
was discharged, as no verdict could be
found. The jury stood ten for murder in
the first degree, one for murder in the
second degree and one for acquittal.
The crime for which Heath was tried is
most sensational. Louis McWhirter, a
prominent lawyer and politician of
Fresno, was called into his yard one
night last August and shot. New hirter's
friends claim that he had been murdered
for political reasons, while others said it
was suicide. His life was insured for
$780, 900 and the insurance companies re-
fused to pay the policies on the ground
that he had committed suicide.
For many months no progress was made
in unravellipg the mystery until last
April, when Richard Heath, son of the
late General Heath, was arrested on
charge of murder. Heath's family are a
very prominent one in the state, but the
young man has been of dissolute habits.

PRICES PAID TOR SILVER.
The Director of the Mint Replies
to Criticisms.
LONDON RATES THE BASIS.
He Gives His Reasons Why That
Market Is Taken.
The London Rate Has Regulated 1t All
Through This Century and Regulates
1t Now and Keeps
Up the Price.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The Posts Wash
ington correspondent says: So much
criticism has been passed upon the policy
of the treasury in determining the price
which 1t would pay for silver bullion.
and the question was raised in SO many
quarters whether the London market or
New York market should be used as ba-
sis, it was suggested today to Mr.. Preston,
acting director of the mint, the wisdom
of explaining clearly to the public the
theory upon which the treasury is pro-
ceeding.
81 claim, - said Preston, fthat in ac-
cordance with the law, the price OF silver
in the London market must necessarily
be taken into account. 1t is the price of
silver there that regulates the price OF
silver the world over. The London rate
has regulated it all through this century
and regulates it now. The Lon
don rate controlled the commercial
value even when the minis OF the
Latin union were open to unrestricted
coinage of silver at a ratio of 15k to l..
The French coinage ratio had no effect
after the closing OF the minis of the LATIN
yer. Ask a banker in Paris, Melbourne,
Calcutta or Hong Kong the price of silver
and before answering he will consult the
latest London quotations.
"The English market being so largely
supplied by the United States, we should
naturally expect to find silver cheaper in
the United States than in London, and
when we do not so find it we cannot help
iDuuiring the cause. 1t is because the
treasury is bound to follow the law. Ii
those charged With making purchases OF
silver for the treasury did not endeavor to
ascertain whether the prices offered
agreed with the market price, and If in
that endeavor they did not compare the
offered prices with the price IL London,
the world IS silver market, they would be
direlect in their duty. The American
holders of silver bullion are we'll aware OF
the importance of London silver quota
lions.
81 find this passage in the London
Economist OF July: 1T would appear nov
as if American producers were interested
in keeping up the London price of silver,
as that practically governs the price a
which the United States treasury mus
buy its quota of 4, SOC, 900 ounces pei
month. They have been manipulating
this market, which, as it holds no large
stock of metal, is comparatively easily in
fiuenced.' Now if the London market i:
not to be considered in this matter, a:
some critics of the treasury claim, why
should anyone on our side of the water
have felt interested in influencing it?''

THE BIG WHITE CITY.
Reductions in Railroad Rates Show Iu-
creased Attendance.

CHICAGO, July 21.-The weather con-
tinues bright and cool. The reductions
in railroad rates is already beginning to
be felt in the increased attendance at the
Worlds fair, and it is believed that from
now on it will continue to grow.
The lesson of the cold storage ware
house fire is being taken to heart by the
management, and special precautions are
being taken to prevent conhagration.
Mrs. w. III. Allen, of Sandusky, Ohio,
has written the fire chief If her husband
was a painter on the cold-storage ware
house. She has not heard from him since
the fire and fears that he persisted.
The beautiful Japanese section in the
art building. formally opened today,
elected much admiration. The manage
ment OF the Worlds fair is not pleased
with the action of the Russian exhibitors
in covering their exhibits because GUS
toms officers sought to verify charges
that they were violating laws in selling
goods in bond and the rules OF the expo
sition in selling for immediate delivery.
A member OF the council of administra-
ton said today that it was definitely
known that these exhibitors have vio-
lated both the rules and laws, and that,
unless they uncover their exhibits, the
exposition will put a custodian in charge,
under g contract signed by them, and
conduct the exhibit at their expense.
The National Worlds fair commission
today confirmed the following appoint
ments: Judges of awards, Professor w.
B. Rising of Berkeley, Cal; department
of manufactures; Laura DeForce Gordon
of Lodi, CAL; agriculture; Miss Addie
Elliott of Santa Rosa, CAL; horticulture;
Mary Hallock Foote OF Boise, Ida, fine
arts.
Director General Davis and the Russian
Imperial commissioners had a conference
today in regard to trouble with the
customs officers resulting in the covering
of the Russian exhibit. The director
general expressed the opinion that the
customs officials were in the wrong and
promised to see the matter righted. 1t is
now probable that the matter will be
amicably settled. Russians declare the
charges of selling bonded goods are false.
Arrangements are being made for cell
ebration OF ''Illinois'' day at the fair,
Commissioners Funk and other state of
| ficials being busy comforting with expo
sition people as to the necessary arrange
ments. 1t is proposed to have the entire
militia of the state parade on the grounds
| that day if a reduced rate can be obtained
for them. If proper arrangements are
made Mr.. Funk is confident that between
400, 900 and 800, 900 people will pass the
turnstiles that day. The exact date is
not yet settled.
The Russian commissioners, together
with those of several other foreign coun-
tries, held meeting today TO discuss the
alleged insult to Russian Exhibitors by
customs officers.
They declined to give out any informa-
ton, but appear generally to be in rather
| resentful mood.
The total admissions today were 125, 443,
of which So, 257 paid.

sILyER's CHAMPION.
Congressman Bland Gives His Views on
the Sherman Law

the Sherman Law.
ST. LOUIS, July Give will repeal
the Sherman law with free coinage
BILL" This is the way Representative
Bland stated the programme of the silver
advocates today. Bland spoke as one
in authority as a leader who knows his
business and understands in advance the
lines of battle. When asked what is the
cause of the present financial stringency,
he said
Whatever panic we have is due in a
great measure if net entirely to the threat
of Wall street fnanciers. They would
bring on a panic or monetary stringency
in order to accomplish the decentralization
OF silver. The proposition now made to
avoid panic and restore prosperity is to
repeal the Sherman act unconditional.
A repeal of that act would be regarded by
the world as total decentralization of
silver which would have the eff
feet to at once widen the differ
ence between the bullion value of
gold and silver. Further depreciation of
silver would then be seized upon by adj
vocates of a gold standard as an insur-
mountable objection to its adoption.
1t is well known, added Mr.. Bland,
that the present administration is opposed
to any silver legislation. We have no way
whatever of securing legislation needed
except by bill repeating the Sherman
act. Any other would be vetoed, hence
those who advocate unconditional repeal
of the Sherman act cannot expect to
be recorded as friends of silver.
Our policy will be to resubstitute.
We are opposed to the Sherman act be-
cause it is bad silver law and we want
to substitute gold one for it. That is
the issue, and the only issue, and the ses-
sion will have to confront it.

WORLDS FAIR RATES.
Salt Lake Will Get a Benefit from Cut
Rates.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Western roads did
not reach definite conclusion today in
regard to reduced rates for the Worlds
fair, but there is reasonable prospect of
their doing so tomorrow. II the present
prevailing idea is carried out, the basis
will practically be one fair for the round
trip. All bars were removed today which
hitherto prevented the cuts made by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific be-
tween Puget Sound and st. Paul being
applied through any Missouri river gate
way except Omaha. The Union Pacific
made rate OF $3.50 from points on its
line competitive with thessstwo roads to
Omaha via Ogden.
Competitors OF the Union Pacific
claimed relief under the agreement of the
Western Passenger association and were
authorized today to use the same rate
via their respective gateways and to carry
it to Salt Lake. This will doubtless lead
to Generalization in trans-continental
rates.

STRIKING MINERS.
Outbreak Expected at the Weir
City, Kan, Mines.

Another Outbreak Expected at the Weir
City, Kan, Mines.
WEIR CITY, Kan. July 21.-No violent
outbreak occurred today but trouble is
lookedf or yet. Two large mass meetings
of strikers were held today, one being ad-
dressed by ex-Attorney General Allen
(Populist), who deprecated violence.
Proceedings at the other meeting was
kept quiet.
This afternoon crowd started out to
shafts AZ and IS with the intention of
driving out the men, but after hanging
round some time gave it up. The foreign
element among the strikers is loudest in
violent talk and the men are constantly
stirring up the women to take leading
part in violence on the superstition that
they will not be fired on.
The sheriff has agreed to place large
force OF deputies to guard the Kamas and
Texas shafts tomorrow.
Late in the afternoon crowd OF strikers
gathered with the avowed intention of
going to strip pit II to hang the engineer.
On arriving at the pit they found all the
men there armed with rifles, and after
some talk hurried back to town. The
sheriff went to shaft az this afternoon and
demanded that the men on guard lay
down their arms. They declined to pay
any attention to his order.

DENVER, July 21.-No more failures
