REMAINS A FRENCH vAssAL.
The King of Slams Unsuccessful
Mission.

LONDON, October 16.-The Paris
correspondent OF the Daily Mail says:
The attempts of the King Of Siam to
obtain an abrogation of the clause in
the treaty between Siam and France,
which reduces him TO the position OF
a King without subjects, have entirely
failed. The other European powers
have refused anything but moral sup
port, and the encroachments of the
French upon Siamese territory are
likely TO increase.

AND REFUSE TO WORK
In Cotton Mill Where EtSrOeS hrO
 Brought Into Service.
ATLANTA NOW HAS A BIG STRIKE
Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills Try to Mix
 Races Under the Same Roof, and the Result Is Stoppage of f1e the Entire Plant.

Aun.ta, Ga. Aug. 4-As the result Of the employment of twenty-five negro women in the folding department of the Fulton bag and cotton mills, this morn- ing over 1,4OO men. women and children have gone on one of the largest strikes that has ever occurred in this city.
 The mills were forced to shut down their entire plant and will affect fully g. 900 people of. the working classes. When the notice was put up that the mills were closed much disorder broke out. and it was the inclination of the strikers at first to cause trouble, but the police re- serve force arrived in time to quel any disturbance
 The local textile union took the side of the strikers and sent notice to them to hold out for their rights When this be- came known the other employees of the mills, all white, walked out. Some of those who quit were the oldest and most reliable employees Of the company
 MT. Elsas, president of the compan ny, explained that it was only small affair and would be arranged in a short time. after which the mills would reopen on fun time The striks rs, however. are d. termined and receiving the aid of the local unions will hold out until the last. ]. Several years ago the same experiment was tried of working negroes with the same result None of them have ever been employed in the mills. Unl. ss the difficulty is arranged trouble will be lool- ed for.

SFGSBEE CHOSE RIGHTLY
Commanding Officer of the Bat tleship Maine
IS H0N0RABLY ACQUITTED
In Running His Vessel Into Pier Rather Than
 Another Vessel With a Load of 4H Humanity Aboard

Washington, Aug. 4.-The ma " depart ment has received report from the special naval board which investigated
 the collisions between the battleship Maine and the ear barge and pier in East river last week. The board fully justified Captain Sgsbee for th- course he adoptd in choosing a omparatively slight injury to the Maine by running into the pier rather than bring serious disaster upon the steamer Isabella, which was crowded with people. After reciting in detail the circumstances which led up to the collision substan- papers, the board has this to say in summing up:
 Tt appears to the board that the stu- alton was forced upon th- Maine by the collisions which occurred between other ships and by the confusion result ing therefrom. And that the command ing officer of the Maine having steered toward th4 New York side to avoid col lSlon With those vessels, ana there ind i ing the Isabella crowded with people coming through the narrow gap which ] he intended to use the second phase of ths situation was forced upon him, and this was left for him to choose be- tween the collision with the Isabella or with the New York pier.
 "The- serious disaster which might have resulted from collision with the .Naw York piers leaves no doubt in the minds of the, board that the Judgment of the commanding officer of the Maine was sound and correct. and that he probably avoided serious disaster and loss of life to the Isabella by taking the course he did
 '"ThF, testimony shows that good order and discipline prevailed. and that all orders and signals were clearly under stood and promptly obeyed. The dam age done to the Maine was very slight. The nee: ssary repairs can be made by the ships force and is nearly completed already"
 It. is stated at the navy department that the accident appears to have be an in+vitable; therefore the department is not responsible for the resultant dam onac

Show Up Splendidly in the State Exam
 lner's Report


 Montgomery, Ala, Aug 4.-(Specia1)- Judge Purifoy, state examiner of public accounts, has filed his report on the off ces of probate judge, tax collector and tax assessor of Dallas county. The examira- tion of the probate judges office em- braced the period from January l, 1892, to the present time. During that time the aggregate amount of state licenses collected was $40,907.93. Errors w re madla by emitting one license of s25, col lecting $3.12 too little on another and l9 cents too little on third. Otherwise everything was promptly collected and reported.
 In the matter of land redemptions the judge had promptly reported and paid into the treasury all money collected. There were only two cases in which the examiner finds the judge chargea ble with any amount on this score. which are stated in the report
 The whole amount charged to the judge is $4S0.74 and of this amount $327S1 is for taxes due on redeemed property tha the judge did not collect, and $5919 are corporation dues which were not collect ed and which dhe judge contends the W did not authorize hdm to collect
 TAX ASSESSOR.
 The report shows the books of the tax assessor T. w. Barker. are neatly and for the most part correctly kept The assessor had in many instances failed to sufficiently describe property in lots. Where property is not in lots. the plais are good, and the assessments full and accurate.
 The accounts of the collector showed that all taxes had been collected or ac- counted for, and not dollar was found due th7 state. The method of keeping the poll tax accounts was irregular, but the result, so far as the payment of the money was concerned, accurate.
 The examiner concludes as follows: "The tax collectors of Dallas county have in practice the finest system of keeping their cash receipts I have ever examined. Properly executed the dan ger of errors is reducs d to minimum. While the examiners are express,y for bidden by the law from prescribing The manner in which the books shall be kept or business conducted by the vari- GUS officers, this system has so favora- ply impressed me thai | fe 1 1t my duty to call the attention of ehhsr c,ilee CTS in the state to it."

BELONGS TO JOHN BULL
The Celebrated Klondyl1e Gold Field Just
 Over the Border

Washington, Aug. 4.-Incited by the newspaper publications recently tend- ing to throw doubt upon the ownership of the Klondyke gold fields, some of the high government officials who would naturally be expected to deal with the question if it comss to a practical issue, have been quietly looking into the mat ter with a view of preparing themselves for any controversy that may arise. Their views are in substance that tn re can be no valid objection advanced to the title of Great Britain to this terri tory.
 :. A careful examination of all of the re- lia ble charts and maps has convinced the officials that so far as th+ Klordyke fields, as defined by the latest reports, are concerned, there can be no question but that they lie east of the Hist me- ridian, which defines the boundary lines. and so are within British territory by about thirty-fve miles, at least. As for the meridian itself, it is said that 1t has been so clos ly located by the sur veys of the Canadians and of our own coast survey that there is not at any point a difference of more than 700 feet in the claimed boundary. which, of course. would not substantially affsct any controversy that might grow out of the file

 Abbeville, s. C.. Aug. 4.-Senator T.ll- man spoke to the Farmers institute here today, delivering the first speech he has made in the state since the opening of the natorial campaign.

He indorsed the tariff views of Senator McLaurin and said that while he, himself, was not protectionist, if there was any stealing going on he wanted his state to have it's share. He told his hearers that he was the only farmer in the senate, and he therefore represented 3,o00.00O farmers of the United States. He declared that his speeches wene as popular in the senate as al home and told how, when he arose 10 speak. the cloak rooms always empt,ed and the galleries flied.
