ion was ventured in naval circles last

Great Britain, and the latter announce
ment of England reinforcing their naval
forces at Esquimalt, the proposed ac-
tion of Russia is of great Importance

THE FRANCO-SIAMESE TROUBLE
Official News Of the Affair Received
at Washington.
CONCERN FELT FOR AMERICANS
Missionaries in siam Must Depend Upon
the Usual Diplomatic Protection
Presbyterlans Uneasy.
CONCERN FELT FOR AMERICANS
Associated Press.


Washington, July 14-The only official
news Of the trouble between the French
and Siamese received at the state de-
partment, was contained in brief tele-
gram from Acting Consul-General Boyd
at Bangkok, stating that after an
hours engagement the vessels
passed the forts below Bangkok. 1t is
not the present intention of the depart
ment to specially dispatch an Amer
lean war vessel to the scene of war, in
view of the fact that American inter-
ests in Siam are Insignificant. Never
theless, it is apprehended that if the
war assumes formidable proportions,
the Siamese may make it very unpleas-
ant for foreign residents, including
the few Americans there. If such a
state of affairs continues, however, the
United States will not be without a
vessel in Siamese waters, as the United
States steamship Concord, now on the
way to China, will be in the neighbor-
hood in the course of two months.
There are about twenty missionaries
in Siam, mostly Presbyterians, and
their friends in this country are becom-
ing concerned about their welfare, now
that actual hostilities have broken out
between the French and Siamese. Rev.
DR.. Gillespi, of New York, representing
the Presbyterian Mission Board, today
telegraphed Secretary Gresham, to in
quire what provision would be made
for the safety of the missionaries and
numerous children in their charge.
Secretary Gresham replied: 81 am in
formed by the secretary Of the navy
that there. is not at present, in the
Asiatic station, any vessel capable of
entering the Siamese waters. Mission
aries should communicate with the le-
cation at Bangkok for the usual dip
lomatic protection"

INTERVIEW WITH ALLISON.

Minneapolis. July 14.-Senator Allison,
Of Iowa, is in the city, the guest of
Senator Washburn. He said today that
the present financial disturbances are
due largely to the fact that there Is
belief that If we continue the pur-
chase Of silver we must soon reach
silver standard, Added to this is the
expansion of credits and the distrnst
Of the democratic policy on currency
and the tariff. The stoppage of the
purchase of silver will greatly aid in
restoring confidence.

NO Anniversary Celebration Took Place
in Paris Yesterday.
Paris, July 14-Today is the 1O4th
anniversary Of the fall Of the bastiIe.
The anniversary is usually celebrated
with much rejoicing, but today, how
ever the fetes in Paris were tame, and
the usual celebrations conspicuous
through absence. This is due entirely
to the feeling engendered by the recent
riots. The anarchists have taken adj
vantage of the day to post incendiary
placards. The police are busy destroy
ing these red posters. The anarchists
have made many threats Of what they
intended to do today, going so far as
to say they would destroy the city with
fire. The authorities are prepared for
any overt act.

On tho South Branch of tho Potomnc-A
sportsman's Paradise.


On tho South Branch of tho Potomao-A
sportsman's Paradise.
West Virginia seems to be the objec.
tive point of those who delight in the
SIP ort OF tho field and stream. AS a
hunting ground it is said to DO the
choicest section OF tho country for that
purpose. Already there are many pre-
serves within her domain, most OF them
fenced in and provided with comfort
able lodging places.
The latest scheme has boon set on
foot by Wheeling people, with the
promise OF good backing from New
York and other eastern sportsmen.
The company now forming comprises
tho best sportsmen OF this community,
and tho endeavor Is to form joint
stock company. The purpose il to es-
tablish Il hunting and fishing preserve
on the South Branch OF the Potomac,
They will also establish general mer-
chandise store, by which tho surround
ing country will DO supplied with arti-
cles generally wanted in the country,
in addition TO which supplies will be
kept such as are necessary to every
hunters and fsherman's outfit.
Tho gentlemen who are interested in
this project do not caro- at this time to
uivo their location away, fearing that
foreign parties who are after preserves
may look on their site with coyetous
eyes.
Besides the projects detailed above,
it is tho purpose OF the company to
erect hotel on an extensive scale. The
site selected is beautiful and pictur-
osque. If the summer boarder desires
ease and comfort combined with wild
scenery ho can have it. Ii he wants
plenty OF hunting-and finding-of
bears, deer, ETC., he can be accommo-
dated. II hO prefers tho amusement OF
trout fishing he can revel in that sport
and enjoy moro OF Its pleasures than
Izak Walton ever dreamed Of. This is
the paradise that these Wheeling gem
tlemen are trying to establish, and it is
likely that they will have tho affair in
shape at an carly day.
