How Deputy Commissioner Bell Classifies the Clerks? Voting Strength. In speaking today of the statement of Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt, pub- Ushed in The Star yesterday, relative to the preportion of republicans and democrats in the departmental service, Mr. H. C. Bell, deputy commissioner of pensions, said: “I have no means of knowing definitely the proportion of democrats to republicans in other departments, but as to the pension bureau, the voting strength within the clas- sified service stands 1,143 republicans against 247 democrats, or less than 22 per cent dem- ccrats; and I'feel pretty well satisfied that the proportion of democrats to republicans is larger in the pension bureau than In any other department or bureau of the depart- mental service In Washington. I doubt very much if there are within the classified service in Washington, D, C., over 1,000 democratic voters.” ——__-2-—__—__ Examiners for Failed Banke.

GUNBOATS LEAVE THEMENAM PARIS, July 2&—It is semi-officially stat- ed that the French blockade of the Siamese coast will be put in operation today. Fifteen hundred of the troops forming the French legion have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to depart for Siam. Preparing for Trouble at Bangkok. BANGKOK, July 28—The night passed quietly. Although the native feeling against the foreigners in the city is strong there was no disorder. The anxiety as to the outcome of the trouble continues. The French gunboats crossed the bar outward from the Menam river last night. ‘They will rendezvous with the other ves- sels of the Indo-China squadron under Admiral Humann, off the island of Koh Si Chang, near the head of the Gulf of m. Trade is at'a standstill. There are no merchant vessels in the river. ‘The representatives here of the several powers and the leading merchants of the city and the commanders of the British and German gunboats met today at the British ation to discuss what action should be taken in the event of rioting on the part of the Chinese, who form a large percentage of the clty’s population. This question was left open, but it was decided to ask the Siamese government to station military guards in the business cen- ters of the city as a measure of precaution against an outbreak by the Chinese. Reported Dissensious in France. LONDON, July 28—It is rumored here that there are dissensions in the French cabinet growing out of the troubles with Siam. It is said that some of the min- isters are dissatisfied because the blockade was not effected with more promptness, and that they reproach their colleagues for recalling the French gunboats from Bangkok. Report has it that the deliberations of the cabinet at Marly-Le-Roi, where the councils have been held because of the presence there of President Carnot, have een marked by a number of violent scenes, The conciliatory attitude of Lord Rose- bery, British foreign minister, is ascribed to his knowledge of the French cabinet dissensions and to assurances he has re- ceived from the French ministers who are in favor of using moderation in the treat- ment of Siam. Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secre- tary of the foreign ‘office, in replying to a question asked by Sir Charles Dilke in the house of commons today, sald that the question as to the effect’ on the British trade of the French blockade of Siamese ports, was being discussed by the foreign officials and the law officers of the govern- ment. Sir Edward added that Lord Dufferin, the British ambassador to France, had been telegraphed yesterday to the foreign office that M. Develle, the French foreign min- ister, had informed him that the blockade would begin on July 31. Later in the day Chairman Jones, the British minister to Siam, had been sent a cable dispatch from Bangkok announcing that the blockade had commenced on July 26. Capt. Jones’ statement was afterward confirmed by the naval officer commanding at Singapore. Three days had apparently been allowed for neutral vegsels to leave Bangkok. The government, Sir Edward concluded, had telegraphed to Paris for a prompt explanation of the seeming discrep- ancy in the ti end ime of the establishing of the ———— WESTERN BANKS CLOSE. Payments Suspended ina Number of Insti- tutions. ELLENSBURG, Wash., July 2%—The Fl- lensburg National Bank suspended pay- ment yesterday. No statement. George B. Markle, president of the two banks which failed in Portland yesterday, is also presi- dent of the Ellensburg bank. CHICAGO, July 23.—A special to the Record from Martinsville, Ind., says: The 8. M. Mitchell Bank, established thirty years ago and backed by $500,000, went into voluntary liquidation yesterday. There is $100,000 In its vaults and deposited by it in the Indianapolis banks. The cause of the action, it 1s said, is the division of the estate. SPARTA, Wis., July 28—Two banks closed their doors here yesterday—the M. A. Thayer Bank and the Bank of Sparta. The cashiers of both institutions claim the ion was taken to protect depositors and that the banks will resume. ‘The Mabilities of the M.A. Thayer Bank are placed at about $175,000, ‘and the assets at $225,000, while the liabilities of the Bank of Sparta are said to be $210,000, with assets of $500,000. MOUNT STERLING, Ky., July %—Last evening the officers of the Traders’ Deposit Bank decided to suspend payment owing to a heavy run on the bank yesterday, caused by the suspension of the Farmers’ Rank, The bank owes $150,000 and has $390,000 of good assets, and the officers hope to re- sume business at an early day.

OMAHA, Neb., July 2%—The state bank examiner appointed to take charge of the American Savings Bank here, which closed July 6, has turned over the bank to Re- ceiver J. W. Thomas of the Union National Bank of Omaha, and has filed his report. The examiner, after making all necessary deductions, states that the assets will ex- ceed the liabilities by $110,000. It is thus evident that the bank will pay depositors MILWAUKEE, July 23.—A. B. Gellfuss, assignee and former cashier of the Com- mercial Bank, returned yesterday from Sharpsville and Sharon, Pa.. where he went to look into the claim which his bank holds against iron ore there. As the banks which have closed hold nearly $2,000,000 of the Schlesinger and Corrigan-Ives paper secured by iron ore, Mr. Geiifuss’ report was looked for with interest, Mr. Gellfuss says: “I found a very large amount of iron on hand, enough certainly to cover the entire claims of the Milwaukee banks. We will be compelled, however, to fight the receiver of Corrigan, Ives and ‘Co. for it. 1 think, however, that the storage warrants held as security by Milwaukee banks will be good as against the claims made since they were given, and it looks as though this would be the legal decision. It can only be determined, as I say, by & dig legal fight. If we can ‘get the iron the market will take good care of it, and we will all come out ut even.” Lynched at Dresden, Tenn. ‘NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 28—A special to the American announces a lynching at resden.
