CHICAGO, July SO,-The World'S Fair

part Of the Worlds Fair management
to make things attractive to visit

beauty and grandeur OF the White City

upon the entrance announcing to the
few straggling,vlaito that there would
be no performance to-day. And the
shows that had the hardihood to open
played TO small houses. The patronage

LONDON, July SO.-Ecclesiaatical and
other circles were shocked yesterday by
the news that the wifeof the Rev. Canon

II She Hnd Waited o Few Hours England
Would Have Como to Her Relief.
Frances Humiliatlng Concession to Eng
land.
LONDON, July 80.-War between Eng
land and France has been averted by
an extremely narrow margin. Ii each
power had abided by its declared in.
tentions Of Friday hostilities would
have been begun within a week.
Early Friday morning when Lord
Rosebery learned that blockade Of the
siamese coast had been declared with.
out notifying England, he sent through
Lord Duferln short and simple note,
to the French government to this effectt
"Great Britain refuses to recognize
the blockade begun on the coast of
Siam. II English commerce in those
waters Ia interfered with by France
such action will be construed as o de-
liberate attack upon the British flag.
Having sont this ultimatum England
began active preparations for war. All
the bluster and defiance which have ac-
companied Frances disgraceful treat
ment Of her helpless victim in the far
east disappeared on receipt OF this per-
emptory warning.
The reply which the French govorn-
mont sent this morning was complete
surrender to Engand's demand. II was
in diplomatic terms that the French
blockading force would be instructed
after tomorrow to allow English ves-
sells unimpeded intercourse with Siam.
ESQ ports. Inasmuch as nine.tenths OF
the siamese commerce Is in British
ships this concession amounted to
abandoning the blockade.
Three hours after France had made
this humiliating backdown, news came
that Siam, hopeless Of maintaining her
rights against such odds, was ready to
concode anything aud everything that
France might demand, Thus II ap-
peared that France had noedlessly
humbled herself before the British lion
which she had been insolontly teasing
for weeks.
The Siam incident in one sense has
but Just begun. The consequences may
yet bo far reaching, not only In French
internal affairs, butthroughout Europe.
There ia some reason for believing Eng
land 10 not alone In bringing France to
terms.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-"The general pas
senger agents OF some Of our western
roads appear to have lost their reason"
said prominent railroad official yes
terday in commenting on the action OF
the Western Passenger Association in
regard To rates for the encampment Of

meeting Of the association yesterday at
Chairman Caldwell'sotfice apropoVition

adopted for the Worlds Fair day or
two ago-namely, one fare for the round
trip, plusS So to Chicago-and that the
rate OF one cent o mile adopted by the
eastern roads be added from Chicago to
Indianapolis. 1t was further proposed
that through tickets be sold from all
western and northwestern points to
indianapolis, good to return In twenty
days, with tho privilege Of stopping
over in Chicago to give the Grand Army
boys q chance to see the Worlds Fair.
The latter proposition did not prove
satisfactory 10 the Worlds Fair sand.
baggers and they strenuously opposed
the stop.ovor clause. Tho general pas
senger agents Of the roads'which have
not yet lost all reason and decenpy
were amazed at the eGrortery Of the
sandbagkers- and declared that under no
circumstances would they DO anything
go unreasonable and unfair as TO pre-
vent the Grand Army boys stopping
over at Chicago. GeneraN Passenger
Agent EuStiS, Of the Burlington, and
one or two others, howeper, would not
recede from their position, and conse.
quently II was dsoidedto grant NO ro-
duced rates to the Grand Army boya
Tho action compots tho members OF
tho Grand Army attending tho reunion
at indianapolis TO purchase World'n
Fair tickets to Chicago and return and
secure the reduced rate Of one fare for
the round trip between Chicago and

Notes Aggregating Fifty ThouSand Doll
lars Discounted Bat the signers Will
Never Pay Them.
New YoRK, July So-The Herald tells
an interesting story In connection with
tho failure OF the Elmira National
Bank Of Elmira, N. Y. After the failure
three notes aggregating $4,000 turned
up among tho assets. All OF them bore
New York date and all were made on
the same day, Ono was for $l7, 900,
made payable on demand to the order
Of tho Eimira national bank, and signed
by George Il. Israel, and the otherG
made In the same form were signed, the
first for $4,000 by II. s. Roll, and the
second for $4,000 by +. NJ. Mollena-
hauer. These notes, II ia stated, wore
deposited in the Elmira bank by Col D.
c. Robinson, mayor Of that city and q
son OF the lalo Ex-Governor Lucius
Robinson, and discounted by Cashier
Bush. Col. Robinson was O large stock
holder In the bank. Tho identity oil
tho signers Of the three notes was
matter Of tho deepest mystery.
Bank officials came to New York to
learn who they were aud tho extent Of
their financial responsibility. Their
names could not be located in the New
York directory nor their rating in
commercial agencies. At last their
identity has transpired. They arc
clerks in tho banking house OF Isaac 3.
NeToome 4 Co., in the United Trust
building. Not single one Of them
has a dollar ouside OF clerical salary.
They signed tho notes at the request Of
Col. b, @. Robinson. They did 1t on
their own responsibility and simply to
accommodate tho colonel, whom they
believed to be q millionaire. They
never expected to pay tho notes and
they probably never will.
