SIAM.
NOTICE OF BLOCKADE.

BANGKOK, July 81. - Notice was
given today of blockade by the
French fleet. Outgoin vessels were
warned that they must clear from
Bangkok and Tshsi Chang before Sat
urday or submit to detention. The
blockade will extend along the entire
north coast of the Gulf OF Siam. The
general expectation is that early in
August the French fleet will attack
Bangkok and land some 5000 men.
There is little doubt here that Frances
pupose is to make Siam French COL
ony. The Siamese government is ex-
ceedingly anxious to avoid open war
fare. When the gunboat Lutin was at
the Menam bar early this morning the
foreign minister sent Pavie note to
the effect that the king and his adj
yisers were most anxious to maintain
peace. All efforts, however, are be-
iieved by English residents to be vain.
Unless England intervenes to assist in
a settlement of the dispute there is lit
tie expectation or even hope that
France will refrain from extreme meas
ures

cago Poor Children.
CHICAGO, July 27.-This was the day
set apart by Mayor Harrison's procla-
nation for free summer outing for
all poor children in the city and over
his official signature as mayor he asked
that Chicago's poverty stricken little
ones be allowed to see the White City
in which Chicago invested $5,000,000.
There was no room for them there
and it was feared that they might
prove an annoyance. Buffalo Bills
Wild West show is a private in
vestment and under no obliga.
tions to Chicago or its poor.
Bill was not asked by Mayor Harrison
or anybody else over his official sigma
ture to throw open his gates to Chica-
COS poor children. But it did not
take him seconds to make up his
mind what he would do, the minute
he heard the Worlds Fair knew no
open sesame" for newsboys and shoe
blacks, and today $4,000 boys and
girls from the slums and alleys
marched in procession through the
streets and became guests of the
Illinois Central street railway and
were royalty entertained by Bill, who
gave them the most glorious day in all
the history of Chicago waifdom.

me Approacbipg Dinner Hour

Is fraught with no pleasant anticipa-
tione for the unhappy mortal plagued
with dyspepsia. Appetite seldom,
discomfort after and before meals, al
ways is his portion. Heartburn and
flatulence subsequent to eating, a
Znawing at the pit of the stomach be-
fore it, are only few among the
woes arising from this truly impish
complaint. Sick headache, nervous
ness, constipation aud biliousness are
its dlabolicaI offspring. Each and all
of them are aEnihilated by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which tones the gas
trio organs and regulates the liver
and the bowels with certainty and
promptitUde. Chills and fever, kid
ney trouble, rheumatism and neural
gia are also remedied by this medi-
cine Of rare purity and comprehens-
i've uses. 1nvalids of all kinds are
greatly and swiftly benefited by it.

KATY'S COUP.
The Information Comes Back and Knocks
Her Out For the Present.

The International Comes Back and Knocks
Her Out For the Present.
Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, July 26.-Matters in the
litigation between the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas and the International and
Great Northern railway for the pos
session and control of the Ga weston,
Houston and Henderson railway are in
statu quo. Neither side has made O.
move today, but both have been en-
gagged in closely watching each other.
AS soon as the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas people secured the injunction re
straining, as they thought, that COM
pany from interfering with the ruL-,
ming Of their trains over the road
into Galveston they hurried to FL :
ton and fwere busily engaged in ar
ranging time card, with the inten-
ton of putting their trains in motion,
on the road today. Arrangements had
been about completed when General
Manager Campbell of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railway
walked in and presented letter from
Judge William II. Stewart, in which
he stated, 1.-THE injunction was not to
give your company any exclusive right
over the international and Great
Northern railway, but that both COM
panies should adjust themselves SO as
to have it's Cars drawn over the Gal
weston, Houston and Henderson rail-
road in such manner as would insure
the accommodation of both companies"
General Manager Campbell sub
mitted written proposition to draw
the cars of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas at all reasonable times and at a
reasonable compensation over the Gal
weston, Houston and Henderson rail-
way, etc. Answer to this communica-
ton was promised today, bat none
had been received by Mr.. Campbell
prior to his departure from the city
this evening.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
people are In Houston and evidently
planning new coup in the event the
present one fails. The way the thing
now stands, the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas got the first blood, but the In
ternational and Great Northern scored
the first knock down They are now
sparring for wind.

Murder Trial-Personal, Etc.
Special to the Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, Tex, July 26.-The
case of The State VS.. Hugh Jackson,
charged with the murder of George
Meador, was called Tuesday morning
in the district court. All day Tuesday,

ond batch of 10 furnished the
necessary three. At l p. III. the
testimony began. w. A. Styles testi-
fed regarding the location of grounds,
cotton wagons, etc., upon the Meador
farm, and the immediate grounds in
the field where the killing occurred.
Emile Sanders, who claims to be an
eve witness, though in distant part
of the field, testified as to the shoot
ing of Meador by Jackson. Sanders,
boy II, was kept on the witness
stand about two hours. 1t is estimat'
ed that the trial of the case will con-
sumo nearly the entire week. About
30 witnesses have been summoned.
TIE little child of Harry Journey,
who was badly burned by walking in
to hot ashes, is very low, and in all
probability will not recover.

The above two districts cover the
whole state and show a decrease of
over 16 per cent in federal collections
from liquor dealers during the fiscal
year 1898 as compared with the prev
ious year, while the decrease in the
state tax collected from liquor dealers
for the year ending April 30, 1893, as
compared with the previous year was
less than per cent. This shows that
the state is by no means getting left
in the collection of the liquor tax.

WHISKY AND WATER

The Kentucky DistilIery Com
pany Wants Water of the City.
The Kentucky and Western Distillery
company, whose distillery is located at
T~wenty-first emu south and Fourth
street. served a mandamus on the mayor
and Register Moody, of the water works,
yesterday, commanding the latter to
turn on the water in the mains which
connect with their establishment, or
else show cause for the failure to do SO.
ihe mandamus is returnable tomorrow
forenoon in the district court. It recites
the fact that the distillery
owns the property occupied by it, that it
is no Indebted to the city for water, and
that Register Moody, though repeatedly
requested to turn on the water i'm the
mains described, has refused to comply
with The request. The distillery COM
pany claims that as a tax payer it is en-
titled to the use of the water.
The reason for the city's refusal to
furnish water to the property in ques-
tion Is that the previous owner allowed
the water tax to run up until it reached
some $500 or 800, none of which has
ever been paid. There is an ordinance
Which provides that when water is
turned OF for non-payment of the water
tax. the city shall not turn it on again
until the tax is paid. But there is a
legal question involved in the present
case. The diStillery claims
that a water tax is not a lien on the
company, and that Deither the company
nor the property is now liable for the
delinquent tax, consequently the COM
pany secured the mandamus to settle
the point i'll court.
