A Chinese Courtship.
HOW JOHN CHINANIAN PAvES THE WAY
TO MATRIMONY.

In his own howery kingdom the
heather Chinese who desires to be-
come benedict does not dream of
approaching his desired bride until he
has heard what her father has to say.
The interview with papa on these oc.
casions is largely occupied by pro.
longed haggle over the amount the
suitor is to give until the bargain is
adjusted to mutual satisfaction.
Then the suitor, highly perfumed
with asafetida, which is the smart
scent among the Chinese, as it was
among the Carthaginians calls on the
brides mother, and is introduced to
the bride, whom it must be under
stood he has not yet seen. The visit
consists largely of bowing, scraping,
flourishing the hands, cringing in every
posture, every kind of ceremonial and
very little conversion.
The lover does not speak one word
to his intended, and seldom glances
toward her. Usually singing and
dancing girls come in and furnish
diversion. He remains in her presence
for two hours or longer, during the
whole of which time he does not get
a moment alone with his intended, OF
even fair look at her face-for it is
not etiquette for him to scrutinize her
too closely. When he has gone he
sends present. 1t is good omen
if he sends a gift of eggshells painted
every kind of color.
All his visits are conducted on the
same plan. He does not get direc,
and iull view OF her face until they
have gone away" that is, until she
has been brought in her palanquin to
his house. There is some compensa.
ton in the fact that if he does not
like her appearance he can send hel
back home. But this would cause
such scandal and be such an insul,
to the family that, as rule, the ques
tion Of looks is thoroughly inquired in.

SAIGON, July 26.-The division Of the
Far East Of the French fleet, which is COM
manded by Admiral Human, has sailed
for the Gulf of Siam. The merchant yes
sells lying off Bangkok probably will receive
time before the blockade TO leave the
Menam river and put out to sea.
PARIS, July 26.-At the Cabinet council
held at Marley-le-Roi, which President Car
not presided over, the deliberations wer
entirely devoted to the Siamese question.
After the council rose q semi-official
statement Of the proceedings was issued.
This statement was that, in conformity
with the unanimous vote of the Senate
and the Chamber of Deputies, the govern
ment had taken such measures to safe
guard the interests and dignity OF France
as were considered from Slams reply to
the French ultimatum to have been rem
dered necessary
The reports yesterday that the French
Government had notified the various
powers OF its intention to blockade the
coast of Siam were premature. No such
notification has been officially addressed TO
the powers.
Lord Dufferin, the British Ambassador,
and NJ Develle, Minister Of Foreign At
fairs. will hold another conference per-
sumably, ON the question of the territorial
demands made by France upon Siam.
TIEN-TsrN, July 25.-The Chinese gov
ernment has received the news of Frances
territorial demands upod Siam with
amazement and indignation. That France
should lay claim to country up to the 23d
parallel is regarded as an intrusion upon
the rights OF China, for at Pekin the con
tention is that both banks of the Mekong, to
point well south Of the 23d parallel are
Chinese possessions.
The Mandarin party, which is bitterly
anti-French, is trying to force the govern
ment to interfere.
WASHINGTON, July $3.50 far as the
State Department is informed there are
no American citizens residing In Siam
except about score of missionaries 1t is
not believed to be necessary TO take any
special measures for their protection.
The United States has no diplomatic
representative in Siam and the consul
general at Bangkok: Mr.. Boyd, is in this
country at present, leaving the Office in
charge of his son, the vice consul.
If the welfare of our missionaries should
be threatened, which is unlikely, they can
without doubt secure protection upon ap-
plication to the minister of some other
nation, as will be the case with the French
residents.
The commercial interests of the United
States in Siam are insignificant, the ex-
ports being very few and the imports being
made up Of teak wood used in ship build
ing and some trihes of oriental and May
laynesian decorative work.
