APOLOGY FROM SIAM.
Reparation Tor the Recent Assault on Consul
General keiiett n Bangkok.

New York, Nov. The Herald's Eu-
ropean edition publishes the following
from its correspondent: Bangkok,
today. formally apol-
ogized to Minister Barrett for the SOL
dier's assault on Vice Consul General
Kellett"
The above special cable dispatch re-
fers to an outrage perpetrated on
United States Consul General Kellett,
last December. by Siamese soldiers and
Jail officials. The Herald, in an exclu-
sive cable dispatch from Bangkok,
published. on December %. 1896, an
nounced the attack on Mr.. Kellett and
the protest Immediately filed by Min
lister Barrett.
The incident grew out of the prosecu-
ton of the claim Of DIR. Cheek. an Ameri-
can citizen. against the Siamcse govern
ment for the violation of a contract DR..
Cheek had with Siam for the sale of teak
wood. While transferring the wood from
the interior of Siam to Bangkok, DR..
Cheeks property was seized by Siamese
soldiers. and the contractor promptly de-
manded damages from Siam through the
American government.
1t was, during the investigation Of the
Cheek claim that Mr. Kellett journeyed
to a town in the interior of Siam. where
his servant was arrested for an infraction
of local ordinance. Mr.. Kellett resent
ed the arrest, visited the Jail and demand
ed the release of his servant Here the
assault occurred.
Following up Minister Barrett's protest,
the United States dispatched the gunboat
Machias to Bangkok ito protect Ameri-
can interests" and the commander was
ordered to make a report OH the alleged
outrage. This report sustained Mr.. KEEL
lett. and mixed commission, upon which
Minister Barrett represented the United
States, was appointed to look into the
facts still further. The commission has
evidently determined that wrong was
done the United States in the person of
it's vice consul general, Mr.. Kellett; hence
the apology.

his secret to the keeping of his friend
and resolved to kill him. Gotha induced
Thorn to meet him at night on the corner
mentioned. and as soon as Gotha walked
toward him, Thorn was surrounded by
detectives and thus his arrest was eff
fected.
Thorns story to Gotha was to the effect
that Guldensuppe had been brought by
Mrs. Mack to her cottage in Woodside. l..
l., which she had rented for the purpose
(Thorn) lay in wait for the bath-rubber,
in closet in an upstairs room. When
Guldensuppe reached the house. Mrs.
Mack told him to go upstairs and examine
the rooms while she went into the ya;r1.
Guldensuppe flesitated, but finally vent
upstairs and passed from room 10 room
peering into the closets until he reached
the one in which Thorn was hidden. As
soon as the unsuspecting man opened the
door, Thorn shot him in the head and
then dragged him to the bath tub, into
which he threw him. If Gotha's story be
true, Thorn acknowledged that while Gull
densuppe was yet alive, the barber drew
knife or razor and cut his throat The
division of the body was next made and
two of the bundles were dropped over
board from ferry boat in the East
river. Another he left in the woods, hav-
ing driven there In company with Mrs.
Mack. The head he encased in plaster of
paris and sunk it in the East river. Mrs.
Mack had helped Thorn to make UP the
bundles and it was she who purchased the
wrapping material Gotha's statement
has been proven to be correct in many
particulars save that as to the disposition
of the head.
Thorn'S reasons for killing Guldensuppe
were revenge for his having once beaten
him and desire to be free to live with
Mrs. Mack. Reporters discovered the wo-
man who sold Mrs. Mack the oil cloth
and the man who rented the WOodside
house to herself and Thorn, and these two
positively identified the prisoners. Peo-
pie in the neighborhood of the cottage
were found who had seen what they con-
sidered to be bloody water flowing from
the drain-pipe of the cottage on that Fri

The drift of the market has not yet
changed. Prices are steadily seeking a o
cent basis and it seems impossible TO stop
the decline until that point Is reached. To-
day Liverpool futures were lis-sid lower,
which caused a weak opening on this side.
and then the estimate OF very heavy re-
ce!pts at New Orleans and Houston to-
morrow had further depressing effect.

IN 1894 The total port receipts tomorrow
are expected to range in the neighborhood
of $4,000 bales, against 1902 in 1896 and
81. 900 in 1894. 1t was these estimates that
furnished food for tho bears today and
caused them TO make further doleful pre-
dictions In regard to the course Of prices.
They claim that 1t is not possible for the
market to stand the strain and think

The matter of receipts is an interesting
study just now. For weeks and weeks
the market has been going down on pre-
dlctlons of a heavy movement. New that
receipts are large. simply proving a feat
IRE that has already beer discounted. a
further decline seems necessary. Despite
the fact that the NOV emcnt for several
weeks has been RAINING behind the 1924

when receipts are heavy for a few days,
and the crop guessers begin raising them
