specie payments in 1890, endorsed the
Weaver greenback movement, and ad-
vocated on the floors of congress the
unlimited coinage of silver. The Sher-
man act, which was compromise
measure to save the country from
Democratic free coinage, is not so
much the reason for the present finan-
cial depression as the lack of conf
dence of the people in the soundness
and stability of Democratic policy.
With Republicans at the helm of ma
tional affairs the secretary of the treas
ury could have purchased every month
the required amount of silver for a
long time without any disastrous eff
feet upon business; but in four
months, with Democratic free-trade
congress in power, this has caused the
worse stagnation in trade that has
been experienced for quarter OF a
century. If the special session will
inaugurate sound and substantial
financial policy, denounce the Chicago
platform and give the people to under
stand that Democrats have come to
their senses ON national affairs, public
confidence will be re-established and
tine country will again be prosperous
and hnsiness will revive.

Frances UrtImatum. i.

LONDON, July 19-Advices confirm the
published statement that France has
telegraphed her ultimatum to the Siam
ese government to be complied with
within "a hours.
LIE Figaro says the terms of the French
ultlmatum to Siam demand thai Siam
evacuate the left bank of the Me-Kong
river; give guarantees for the faithful
performance of treaty obligations; and
pay indemnity for outrages on the French.
As France is already in possession OF the
Lower Me-Kong, she will control nearly
the entire river if Siam comedies the de-
mands. This is decided extension of
the French claims toward the west, as
the mountain range, heretofore the
boundary of the French elaine, lies far
east of the Me- Kong river. The present
claim takes in the western bank of ihe
river. giving France both banks and the
entire controi of it for most of its length,
practically coming TO the border OF Brit
ish territory.
II Is semi officially announced d the ul-
timatum sent 10 Siam is limited to 48
hours. France claims an indemnity of
100000 francs, exclusive of private
claims.

the alliance is growing impatient, espec-
iallv as the members are asked to doubIy

Routed sy strikers.

WEIR CITY, Kan July 20-The ex-
pected crisis in the Kansas miners strike
came today. 1t was caused by the strik
ers declining TO allow the miners who are
willing TO work to do so. Just before
noon band of 500 strikers, who had
Deen marching to the various strip pits,
reached GleDonts pit, about mile south
of here. They were headed by 100 wo-
men. They sent in committee to per-
suade the miners TO quit. A refusal was
returned, and then the entire band OF
marchers moved on the works to force
the men out. TIE strip men were ready
for them, and when they passed the Tres
pass line they were fired upon, and gen
eral battle followed in which rifles, pis-
tolls and clubs were used Fortunately
nobody was fatally hurt. One man, one
women and boy received painfnl bullet
wounds, aud a number of people on both
sides were badly beaten with clubs. No
one will die. As a result of the battle
the men in the strip were routed by the
strikers and forced to flee for their lives,
pursued by bowling moo. The owner
of tue pit, Clements, his son ana "Big
Dick" Reed ale said 10 have done the
shooting. They have given themselves
up, and were run out of the county Tor
safe keeping. The excitement continues
at high pitch, and further bloodshed
seems inevitable. 1t is rumored guam
tity OF firearms have been received here
tonight.
THE WOMEN FIERcER THAN THE MEN.
The women, who were mos.lv Germans
and Bohemians, entered into the fighting

cision and did great execution. The

n Decline ixa stocks.

NEW YORK, July 18-The stock ex-
change opened in excitement and gen
eraI decline of prices followed. The
break started in London accompanied by
a report that large International bank
ing house was about to fail The house
referred to was that of Crews, LichteD-
stad g. Co., whose embarrassment was
caused by the injudiclous and unfortu-
nate speculations of the junior partner.
The house was helped and did not fail.
Another thing which aided the unessi-
ness of the stock market was the rumored
embarrassment of certain railroad COM
psnIes. ReceiVerships are talked of for
half dozen roads. The reports are de
MED in official circles, but the denials do
not xiii the rumOrs.

rhe victoria Cour,-Martlal.

VALETTA, Malta, July IS-The court
martial trying Captain Maurice A. Bourke
and other officers Of the battle-shiP Victoria,
resumed its sitting this morning. When the
court rose yesterday Captain Bourke was tes-
tiiying as to the incident: that led up to the
disaster. This morning he resumed his tes-
timony. He said he became aware of the
danger of a collision almost directly the Vic
toria began 10 turn. He did not think Staff
Commander Hawkins Smith had ever been
consulted by Vlce-Admiral Tryon in regard
to the maneuvers; indeed, nobody had been
consulted When Vice-Admiral Tryon hoisted
his flag on the Victoria, it was customary to
use So-degrees helm. Vice Admiral Tryon
altered this to rs degrees. Lord Clifford,
flag lieutenant OF the Mediterranean squad
ron, and eldest son and heir of Admiral Earl
of Clanwilliam, was the next witness. He
testified that after the collision Vice. Admiral
Tryon said to him: SIT was all my fault.'
Staff Commander Hawkins Smith also gave
evidence showing that Vice-Admiral Tryon
took upon himself the responsibility for the
disaster. The staff commander said that i'm
mediately after the Ctmperdo1on rammed the
Victoria, Vice Admiral Tryon said to him:
'.It WIS entirely my doing 1t was entirely
nv fault''

We have rarely seen such an exhlbi-
ton of public sympathy as was ex-
tended to the young lady who horse-
whipped o. D. Taylor this afternoon.
At one time excitement ran so high
that many believe, if a leader had as
sumed command, riot would have
resulted and the reverend gentleman
would have been the victim, While
the act is to be deplored, very many
express the opinion that Taylor re-
ceived nc more than he deserved.
There are many people from the
east in this city who have been
deluded out of their earnings
by bis promises in regard to in
vestments at North Dalles, and these
have no friendly feelings towards the
gentleman. While it may be advis-
able under all circumstances, to re-
spect law and preserve the peace of
the city, yet men may become so des
perate by suffering from the frauds
and deceptions of a smooth speaking
scoundrel that they forget, for time
being, the duty of citizens. The poor
girl, of an impulsive nature, and loving
her friend to alteration, could not see
her cruelty wronged out of her earn
ings, as she believed, without punish
ing him who did it. Her act is only
what many ladies in this and other
countries would have done under the
same circumstances.

The Roseburg Revieso displays con-
siderable animus against Salem, by
reason of the injunction suit against
the soldiers home, and denominates it
"hog." Our cotemporary should use
more elegant language in its columns
and keep its anger from effervesclng.
There is "good time coming" when
the "bunch-grass" country and South
ern Oregon can "get even" with the
seat of government. At the next ses-
sion Of the legislature Eastern Oregon
will join hands with Southern Oregon
in passing bill submitting to the
people the question of the removal of
the capital of the state to some more
convenient locality. We advise our
brother to say less and work more.
Salem is not "ho2," even symbol
cally speaking. She is too lean for
the comparison, and will be leaner still
when the mepbers from other portions
of the state oppose the usual appropri
ations which supply her grease. Now,
it is in order for the Salem Statesman
to ruffie its feathers and call the Rose
burg RevieD "liar," and the Times
MoUNTAINEER ''lony-eared jackass" and
bunch grass idiot.

Another Oil Excitement.

TOLEDO. July 20-Inteuse excitement
exists in the hamlet OF Wa tervllle, 10
miles west OF this city, over a phenom-
email oil find. The locality was aban
doned as worthless 30 years ago. Recent
indications induced few farmers and
one or two oil spectators to buy all the
territory possible. Work was conducted
secretly. ALI at once several wells were
drilled. The wells are flowing 600 bar
rels day. and several others are runnin g
300 and 400 Oil men all over the coun.
try are fiockiDg in ON every train. The
Standard Oil Company has representa-
tivss here. who are taking up everything
In sight that has not already been Sc.
cured. A number of farmers will make
thousands and perhaps millions if they
do not lose their heads. The little town
of 100 today looks like city. Hundreds
are arriving daily, and are living in tents,
board sbanties, and anything that will
afford slight protection from the weather.

The French have a small war on
their hands in Siam, and this may in
terest the people sufficiently to keep
them from fighting at home. They
cannot stand ennui, and must have a
change to keep them in a normal
condition. The excitement centering
around Siam may attract the atten-
ton of the people from the Panama
canal frauds, and this may strengthen
the home government, which at pres
ent is rather weak. Strong in re-
sources, with recuperative power
second to no country in the world,
Frances greatest enemy is the mer-
curlal disposition of her citizens, and
without this is attracted by foreign
wars it breaks out at home in riot and
bloodshed.

FRANCE AND SIAM.

The conduct of France toward Siam,
says the San Francisco Chronicle, is
inexplicable upon any other theory ex-
cept that of the eagerness of the French
to extend their authority in the orient
and to possess rich and valuable ter
ritory. Dispatches from Bangkok, the
Siamese capital, to the London Times,
show that two French war vessels, in
spite of the remonstrances of the
French minister to Siam, have pro
ceeded up the Menam river, after ex-
changing shots with the forts at the
entrance, and have anchored in the
river opposite Bangkok. This was, in
itself, an act of war, and the king OF
Siam at last advices was holding a
council to consider it.
If the French government had re-
called the Tonquin experiences OF
1885, which cost the Ferry cabinet its
positions and brought discredit on
Grevy and his advisers, it would have
been careful how it provoked trouble
with Siam just now. The least reverse
to French arms in Siam would result
at least in a cabinet crisis and could
not fail to operate powerfully against
the Republicans at the legislative.elec-
ton which is to occur next month.
Whether such an event would compel
the resignation of Oarnot or not can
not be said, but it would ruin his
chances for reelection next year.
The only pretext for the French
movement against Siam is the espousal
of the cause of AMMAN, which has be-
come a French dependency, but the
Annamese and Siam, Sc would be bet
ter left to settle their own differences.
France seems to be ambitious to enter
upon policy of colonization, in rivalry,
perhaps, to Great Britain, but her at
tenpts thus far have not been attended
with success, except in Algeria.
It is believed in the orient that
England will espouse the cause of
Siam as against France, and if SO there
will be serious trouble English trade
interests would be badly hurt by
French domination in Siam, and 1t is
not unlikely that England will put in
forciole protest against the French
scheme of conquest. Whether Eng
land will do anything more than pro-
test remains to be seen, and will de-
pend on how far France ventures to
proceed with the operations which she
has recently begun.

THE OHINESE.

In his written opinion submitted as
the expression of judgment of the NIL
norlty of the u. S. supreme court
on the cons.itutionality of the Geary
Chinese exclusion law Chief Justice
Fuller said: SIT (the Geary law) con-
taiDs within it the germs of the asser-
ton of an unlimited and arbitrary
power in general incompatible with
the immutable principles of justice, in
consistent with the nature OF our gov
ernment, and IN conflict with the
written constitution by which that
government was created and those
principles secured" The justice of the
report of the minority of the supreme
court in this remarkable decision may
yet be endorsed by public opinion. 1t
is not SO long ago that Judge Taney
made himself famous in the opinion he
rendered in the Dred Scott case, but
no court in the United States would
have the temerity to cite that decision
now as a precedent, and the time may
come when the decision on the Geary
law will be considered in the same
light. With all the boasted freedom
of Americans they have always pos
sessed intense prejudices against GER
tain races. Before the late war these
were centered against the negro; but
now the Chinaman is the scape goat of
Gods creation. In him is fully de-
veloped everything that is debasing or
vicious, and he literally has no rights
that an Anglo-S xon. is bound to re-
spect. The United States will not be
completely free,in the full meaning of
the word, until the courts afford equal
protection, to white and black, to Chi
namap and Caucasian, to Jew, Chris
tan and heather. The principles
which underlie our system of govern
ment intended that there should be no
by reason of race, religion
or color. American should be COM
prehensive word, and should be held
as sacred by orthodox as hetrodox, by
as we'll as native citizens.

Making Cold weather.

ABERDEEN, S. D., July 19-The Inter-
national Cold Wave Company, with
capital of $2,OOO,OOO and surplus of
one third that sum, has been organized
by local capitalists. who expect to make
uOtold wealth :n.the next few years. The
company alleges that it has discovered a
secret, the potency of which, if applied
TT the right time and under favorable
circumstances, will vitiate and destroy
the hot winds which arise IN Kansas and
at times have been known to sweep the
country, burning and killing the growing
crops. This secret will be placed on sale
and revealed to residents who put up the
money. When the wind is blowing hot
and strong from the South, the company
will undertake to bring counter wind
from the icefields of the frozen North.
Just what process has been evolved, or
to whom the marvellous discovery is to
be attributed, are not matters for pub
licity.
