Tho Little Affair With Slam.

Mr.. E. V. Kellett is American vice
consul to the kingdom Of Siam. Last
November Mr.. Barrett, our minis
ter to Siam, sent Mr.. Kellett to the
town of Chiengmai on business. Mr.
Kellett sent his clerk to tho postoft1ce
Ut 8 O'Clock in the evening. The clerk
was native Siamese, and he carried q
aim little silver headed cane. The po-
lice arrested him on the charge Of VIC.
lating . town ordinance forbidding the
carrying Of dangerous sticks" at
night. 1t appears that the siamese po-
lice were very glad Of An excuse to mo-
lest an employee Of q foreigner. Word
was sent to Mr.. Kellett, who was indig-
nant. He proceeded at once to the po-
lice station, demanded and got his clerk
and started home with him. On tho
way he was suddenly surrounded BY .
body Of Siamese soldiers, who began to
beat and batter him with their muskets.
He resisted and backed up against
wall and laid about him with his cane
lively. Some missionaries who came BY
persuaded the vice consul to let the SOL
diers take his clerk back to the police
station, which he did. The soldiers had
stopped him and beaten him for taking
the clerk away before the police court
had released him.
Mr.. Kellett acquainted Minister Bar
rett with the outrage. At first the Siam
sse government was very lofty and in
dependent. It refused to let anybody
but one of it's own heather Siamese
courts sit on Mr.. Kellett's case. But the
United States has treaty with Siam,
rs with other Asiatic nations, specifying
that our citizens shall be tried by Amer
lean consular courts or by mixed courts
Of Siamese and Americans. Siam re-
fused to permit the mixed commission
to try the case. Now comes in the NOR
al, and let Americans heed it we'll.
About seven years ago there was built
at Bath, Me-, an unpretentious little
gunboat, which was named tor that
other Maine town, Machias.
Five years ago the Machias was or
dered to Asiatic waters. She was not
very large, but she was perfectly pro-
vided with modern guns which will
shoot true. By q coincidence almost i'm
mediately after the Siamese government
refused to let Mr.. Kellett's case be in
vestigated by mixed commission the
Machias appeared Que fine day in the
harbor of Bangkok and anchored there.
The effect was magical. In less than no
time tho Siamese aoceded to Minister
Barrett's demand for q mixed commits
sion. They likewise humbly and public
~ apologized for the assault on repre-.
sentative of the United States govern
ment, and the soldiers who committed
the assault were severely punished.
Ais we'll that ends we'll. ~

CANTEEN ESTABLISHED.
The boys in the regiment who
have been getting very dry since
being in camp, were given an OPP
portunity of wetting their whist
les last night when a ''canteen"
was opened inside the lines.
Most of the other regiments have
had these convenience for some
time, but there was some opposi
ton to overcome before one was
allowed in this camp. The boys
are allowed to buy beer in limit
ed quantities at the rate OF about
five cents per quart. Those who
have no cash are given checks in
a limited number, to be deducted
from their wages.
The canteens are all managed
under the immediate direction of
an officer of the regiment and the
best of order Is maintained.
Nothing in the way of drinks is
sold except beer, and no bottled
beer is sold to the men, except
upon written order from a com
missioned officer.
