Siam Wants to Know What France Wants, SURPRISED AT HER DISPLEASURE Excited Comments of the Siamese Commissioner at Chicago. A PREMATURE REPORT. LONDON, July 2%.—The correspondent at Bangkok of the Times telegraphs that the Simese foreign minister, in replying to the statement of M. Pavie, the French minister, that Siam's answer to the French ultimatum was not satisfactory, expresses surprise and regret that the abdication by Siam of her sovereignty, not only over that part of her territory in dispute on the eft bank of the Mekong river, but also over Stuntreng and Khone, which are in- disputably Siamese by treaty, 1s not con- sidered fully in accordance with the re- quirements of France. ‘The Siamese minister therefore urges more strenuously than ever that France deiine exactly what she considers her rights in Annam and Cambodia, on the left bank of the Mekong river. ‘The correspondent adds that the Siamese government has offered to provide pilots to take the Krench gunboats Lutin and Comete down the Menam river from Bang- kok. These pilots were asked for by M. Pavie yesterday when he notified the Siam: ese government that he would leave the city on Wednesday to go on board the war ship Inconstante. It appears certain now that M. Pavie will hasten his departure. It ts said the French minister on one of the gun boats and accompanied by the other, will go down the river this evening. The Westminster Gazette, a liberal or- gan, today publishes article on the Franco-Slamese dispute uAder the caption “Jingo Pharisees.” The paper admits that the situation arising from the dispute is serious, but it deprecates the bluster that marks the articles on the subject in a sec- tion of the tory press. It urges that confi- dence be placed in Lord Rosel , the Brit- ish foreign minister, whose hands, it says, may be best strengthened by a certain amount of reserve. Great Britain, it adds, cught not to forget that France may possi- bly have a case as in’ French eyes as any British case is in British eyes. Powers Not Yet Notified. PARIS, July %.—It transpires that re- ports current yesterday that the French government had notified the various pow- ers of her intention to blockade the port of Siam were premature. No such notifica- tion has been officially addressed to the wers. PYord Dufferin, the British ambassador, and M. Develle, minister of foreign affait will hold another conference tomorrow, presumably on the question of the terri- torial demands made by France on Siam. Keady to “Eat Up” the French. CHICAGO, July 25.—“Let the French put so much as a foot on Siamese land and we will eat them up.” cas ‘Ine speaker, Phra Surlya Nutvate, chie! commissioner to the world's fair from Siam, clenched his copper and knotty fist. At the same time a cloud of indignation swept over the mild-mannered little man and only the absence of a Frenchman prevented Phra Nutvate from puttin ecution for thumping there. “*Sfhe “ungrateful French,” Phra Nutvate exclaimed, his black eyes snapping. “Three ears ago,” he explain: “his majesty the ‘of Siam gave the French permission to explore the upper Mekong. Now, then, they have taken advantage of him ‘by se- lecting desirable points along, that river and laying claim to them. This is the cause of the whole trouble. France wants the river Mekong. She wants it to tap the commerce of Tong King and injure the English trade which comes down the river Menam entirely at present. If France can break up England's trade in Siam and at the same time divert the French peopie’s eyes from the odorous scandals at home she will have accom shed her object. ‘Can France do it o, sir, We ‘have a standing army armed with Manchester magazin les.

Randall's head struck with much force on the floor, and he has been unconscious since.

Financiai institutions in all parts of the country are dally closing thelr doors nd communities not yet affected are ap- prehensive and cautious.

Yesterday and today’s shipments, it is expected, will be quite as the sentiment among traders early in the day was a trifle more encouraging, and they hoped to see prices rally somewhat on buying small lots, but the bears were aided in their efforts by several failures, the decreased important ‘bank earnings of St. Paul and Atchinson, and the utter lack of support on the part of the bulls. Louisville has been watched with more than usual interest for several days, and rumers of impending trouble were verified today by the announcement that the Mer- chants’ National Bank, with a capital of $500,000, and the Louisville Deposit Bank, capital $300,000, had failed. ‘he Indianapolis Bank, which closed its doors today, had deposits amounting to ‘$1,700,000. ‘These suspensions were rnnounced shortly after | o'clock, and a vigorous und Successful assault was made all along the line, prices yielding easily’ In ‘consequence, St Paul sold off from S1 3-4 to 8 1-2.

FATAL FOR MAIL CLERKS. ‘Wreck of a Boston Train Early This Morn- Ing—Other Disasters. PROVIDENCE, R. L, July %—At 1:01 o'clock this morning the first section of the mail train from Boston to New York was wrecked opposite Dodgeville station. The train consisted of Old Colony engine 147, two United States mail cars, a bag- gage car and several passenger coaches. A freight train from Boston had passed through Attleboro’ at midnight and switch- ed off some of the cars at Dodgeville, and one of them was left on the main track in the way of the mail train. The train ap- proached the obstruction at the rate of thirty miles an hour and crashed into it before the engineer could reduce the speed of his engine. The engine was demolished. Charles J. Miller, the mail clerk, was killed. He was from Walton Falls, N.Y., and was unmarried. Edward C. Murphy, another mail clerk, of Putnam, Conn., re- ceived a compound fracture of the skull and cannot live. Capt. Robert A.

A Number of Olerks Reported ss Inefii- cient or Negligent Go, ‘Nervousness Caused Among the Employes— ‘The Secretary's Intention to Better the Service—The Civil Service Law. ‘While it is not expected that there will be wholesale dismissals of clerks in the Treasury Department it has been off- cially announced that the department will not hesitate to dismiss clerks on the grounds of inefficiency or other causes where it ts belleved that the service of the department can be bettered by the re- placement of employes who are derelict in their duties by those who it is thought will perform the duties more satisfactorily. This policy it is intended shall be pur- sued, and, in fact, it was begun yester- day afternoon. Six clerks received their yellow envelopes, which was notice that their services would no longer be required. Today just twice that many employes in the office of the sixth auditor received a similar notification, and it is known that the names of at least a hundred clerks are on the list which will be changed. In the Classified Service. All of these clerks are in the classified service and under the civil service rulev. This fact will not, however, protect them as @ prominent official of the Treasury De- Partment informed a Star reporter today that the civil service law contained nothing which prevents Secretary Carlisle from dis- missing a clerk when his record is not g00d or when a more efficient clerk can be foun: It is understood that the chiefs of division: have reported to the head of the depar ment certain clerks who seem to have ob- tained the impression that so long as they are in the classified service they cannot be disturbed. With this belief fixed in-their minds they have been taking advantage of what they believed to be a safeguard and have been taking all Kinds of liberties. In was reported to have a! peared at his desk in an intoxicated cone ition and the chief of the bureau was told to recommend him for dismissal. In other cases it is said that clerks have been aecus- tomed to leave their desks at whatever time they choose and be absent part of the day or arrive late at the ent in the morning. In the second auditor's office f.tumber of changes are contemplated and e ani partment “the cus here in the entire de- mmended that the places of certain clerks could be more satisfactorily filled. Superannuated Clerks. It is also the intention of the department to weed out some of those clerks who have a oe ~s that it is an impossibility for them to do the work that is assigned to them. Some of these will be dismissed. All of the vacancies that are thus made will necessarily be filled through the civil service commission, and in so doing it is Probable that a preference will be given y Secretary Carlisle to democrats, as it is stated that less than ten cent of the clerks under the control of the Treas: ury Department are of the democratic per- ion. ‘The rumors of the contemplated changes were broadcast in the corridors of the partment this morning and. naturally caused not @ little commotion. All of the clerks are naturally a little nervous, but it can be stated that in cases where clerks e been attentive to their duties the; will not be disturbed. s/ Clerks jubstitutes. Most of the dismissals which were made yesterday were in accordance with an or- der which was promulgated on the 7th of June. At that tyme notice was gent to each clerk that the service of substitute clerks then on the roils who had not received per- manent appointment on or before the both of that month would cease on the Ist of July. While all of these substitutes have been dismissed who were not permanantly appointed on the date mentioned, the clerks whose work they were doing have not in many cages appeared at the department since, and as the time which they would have been allowed for sick leave has ex- pired, according to the order issued in re- f2rd),*o sick leaves, they were dismissed. in all such cases the same policy will be followed out, and should a clerk whose name has been ied on the rolls but whose position was actually being -filled by, .mubstitute not appear to personally attend to the duties ed, his name wil be dropped at once. It ig understood that the chiefs of divi- sions have been notified not to hesitate to report for dismissal a clerk who is found to be efficient or not attentive to the work to which he ts assigned. SILVER PURCHASES. it Bought at the Offer Made by the Director of the Mint. The Treasury Department in all obtained Amot yesterday 107,500 ounces of silver. This amount was secured in response to the counter offer made by the director of the mint of $0.6960 for all the silver offered. This amount brings the total purchase of silver this month to about 1,900,000 ounces. The officials of the treasury Bow do not ex: pect to obtain the full quota of 4,500, Sunces, and belleve that the sum secured will not exceed 2,500,000 ounce: It is not the intention of the government to make up next month what will be lack- this month. If only 2,500,000 ounces are obtained in Juiy, in August the purchase will be begun again for that month with- out any reference to the amount obtained the month previous. In this way it may be that at the end of the fiscal year the gov- ernment instead of having bought 54,- 000,000 ounces for the year may only have haif that amount. ier A Naval Court-Martial.

A Proposition to Unite the Four Local Com- panies Into One. ‘This ts rather warm weather to be ac- tive and the times are rather hard for big business ventures to be moving, but it is just the sort of weather for the icemen. People must have ice in warm weather, whether the price goes up or down. The lat- est move on the part of the icemen is the proposition to form @ combine of the dif- ferent ice companies that operate in this city, mot for the purpose of raising their prices, they say, but for the purpose of do- ing business on a simpler and more econom- ical system. ‘The ice business in this city is carried on by the number of different companies and they say that they cover practically the game ground. They argue that if they were combined into one company they could serve all the customers that they now have in less time and at less expense. The lat- ter part of the proposition remains yet to be proved, for comi do not as a rule result in any diminution of the price of the handled. For some time past there been talk of the four principal com- panies that do business here getting to- ether and operating as one company, but it has only been within the past few days that anything has been made public with reference to the matter. _ Mr. T.A.

The officers of the Hygienic Ice ‘ol y say it ir company 101 involved in the deal in ‘any way. The officers of the four companies named have had several conferences of late, and the pro ition is said to involve the selection fee Company ag the president of the new ice Company as the of new concern. It is thought that several weeks must elapse before the consolidation can be consummated. The men whe are most. interested in the move say that there is no need for the four companies to tain four different ines and as many different officers when each company’s line crosses or dovetails in with the line) of some other company. The consequent ‘saving, say, would bring about a decrease’ in the cost of ice to the consumer. It is understood that an committee, consisting of three ice dealers from Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York has been appointed to examine and upon the values of the plants of the four companies, and a report from, this Committee Is looked for in a few days. @ appraising committee is understood to be at work. and will visit the -Pe- nobscot and Kennebec ice fields before sub- mitting a report. HAGERSTOWN NEWS. Notes of Interest, Kanging From Murders to Marriages. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Hagerstown, July 24, 1893. A few hundred yards over Mason and Dixon's line in Pennsylvania is a locality known as the “Black Corner.” This is cer- tainly no misnomer. It is maintaining its reputation as the unfailing producer of very frequent tragedies. The latest to chronicle Is the shooting of Jacob Woodring by his own son. For some time Woodring has lived apart from his wife, the latter re- siding with her son. Woodring, at night, went to thelr home and attempted to do bodily harm to his wife. The son inter- fered in behalf of his mother, and seizing gun shot his father. The injured man is yet alive, and the physicians forbid his re- moval, as his chances of recovery are sim. David McConnell and H. Clay Wolf, an @x-constable, also go to make up the popu- lation of the “Black Corner,” which also embraces within its precincts the town of Mercersburg. McConnell and Wolf are neighbors, and a quarrel ensued between them, growing out of some unpleasantries of neighborly jars between thelr tive wives. Wolf remonstrated with McConnell, when a fight ensued, di hich McCon- nell drew a knife and stabbed Wolf in the left breast in the region of the heart. The wound is a serious one, and another trage- is likely to be scored up to the credit Washington eounty te furnishing her quo- ta to the world's fair.
