the Cause of Siam.
RUSSIA WILL SUPPORT FRANCE.
Great Britain Sees the Necessity for Ac-
tion, and Sends Special Instructions to
Her Fleet in the Orient—Report That
Siam’s King Is to Leave Bangkok.
TIEN—TSIN. July 2l.- Information has
been received here from Pekin to the effect
that China has taken measures to support
Siam as against the French. Siam has
for many years paid tribute to China, but
only as a matter of usage apd convenience,
and it‘is now apparent that Chinais deter-
.mined to assist the Siamese against French
encroachments upon their territory. The
interference of China will add a most in-
teresting feature to the Franco-Siamese
dispute, and will probably resultin a mod-
ification of Some of the demands of F1 ance
as contained in her ultimatum.
PARIS, July 21.—-A dispatch received
here from Bangkok states that- the Siam-
ese court is greatly agitated. Preparations
are apparently under way for the depart-
ure,of the king and his court from the
capital. Reports of the intention of the
king to leave Bangkok have spread among
the populace and have caused much ex-
citement. The dispatch adds that it is
stated, in Bangkok that a popular agita-
tion in favor of Francehas- been started in
the ‘.province of 'Battambang, some dis-
tanceto the sOIutIheast. of the capital, and
that troops have been sent to put down
the seditionfi -’ . '
The statement is published that Baron
Mohrenheim, the Russian ambassador to
France, has officially informed the French
government that Russia would support
France on all points involved in the Siam-
ese dimculty. It" is further said that the
Russian fleet in Chinese waters is under
orders to proceed to the Gulf of Siam for
the purpose Of supporting the French and
of protecting the French residentsin Siam.
The fleet is expected to shortly arrive in
Siamese waters.
The senate yesterday passed unani-
mously a resolution approving in every re-
‘epect the attitude of the government in
- the Siamese affair.
LONDON, July 21.——A special cabinet
meeting was summoned in Downing street
yesterday afternoon. There was a full at-
tendance. France’s demands in Siam were
discussed at length, and eventually in-
structions for the Marquis of Dufierin,
British ambassador to France, were form-
ulated and approved. Immediately after
the meeting the Earl of Roseberry, secre-
tary of state of foreign affairs, communi-
cated with the admiralty as regards the
disposition of the fleet in Asiatic waters.
Late in the afternoon special orders were
dispatched by the admiralty to Vice Ad—
miral Sir E. R. Fremantle, commander in
chief of the Chinese division of the fleet.
These facts, together with the sudden can-
celing of the Marquis of Dufferin’s leave
of absence, are regarded as hardly in har-
mony with the bfi‘icial predictions of a per-
fectly amicable settlement with France of
the Siamese difficulty. Even if not alarmed
by the course of France, the government is
believed to realize that the Siamese afiair
is fraught with the most serious possibili-
ties, ' for which immediate preparation
must be made by Great Britain;
BANGKOK, July 21.-The belligerent at-
titpde of the French gunboats Comete’, In-
constants and Forfeit, opposite the mid-
dle of the city, is causing great anxiety
among the people, All three gunboats
have steam up and'are cleared for action.
The men are continually beat to quarters,
and they train the guns on any Siamese
gunboat that happens to pass them on its
way up or down the river, day or night,
although the Siamese government en’-
deavors to ally suspicion by warning in
advance the French commander of the
passage of every Siamese man-of-war.
A Bit at Secretary Carlisle.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 21.—The bimetallic
state convention chose ex-Governor Os-
borne as permanent chairman. The ad-
dress preceding the resolutions, which de-
clare against a universal gold standard,
makes this hit atSecret-ary Carlisle: “W'e
indorse the opinion expressed by Hon.
John G. Carlisle in 1873 that the move-
ment to totally demonetize silver is a stuo
pendous conspiracy conceived by the
moneyed interests' of all countries to in-
crease the value of one-half of the world’s
metallic money by destroying the other
half, and that the successful consumma-
tion of that conspiracy would be more dis-
astrous to the people of this world than
jar, pestilence and famine.”

FACTORIES CLOSING DOWN.
Many People'Made Idle by the Dalian-p
‘ ‘ of Trade.
NEW YORK, July 2L—The Post says:
“The efioct of the proposed closing of the
large cotton mill plant in Manchester, N.
11., during the month of August, it is as-
serted, has been generally overestimated.
This at all events is theview of many of
the leadip .cqttop merchants of this city.
It runs ked as probable that many other
mi 5 in New England, such as the Man-
chester mills, the Pembroke, Webster and
China mills, and the York Manufacturing
company, of Saco. will shut down, but
nevertheless the situation is not consid~
ered an alarming one bythe merchants,
who say it will be done ‘as a precautionary
measure to prevent a large accumulation
of goods durirg the autumn.
PORTLAND, Me., July 21.——At a direc-
tor’s meeting it was decided to shut down
the mills of the W'estbrook Manufacturing
company, makers of ginghams, from July
29 until Sept. 4. The goods now being
manufactured cannot be sold until Octo-
ber, and no money can be realized upon '
them until next Spring. It is not deemed
advisable to pile up the goods. The mill
has been in operation thirty years without
a shut down, and some repairs are nece -
sar .
Al'ILTON I‘LLLS, N. 11., July 21.—‘The
agent of the “'aumbeck company issued
orders for closing the mills here for three
months, as soon as the goods now in pro-
cess of manufacture are finished. The rea-
ron assigned for this action is a lack of or-
iers, except at ruinous prices. This is
the first time in the history of this com-
pany that work has been ordered to cease
on account of the condition of the mar-
kets.
BIDDEFORD, Me, July 21.—No. 3 Pepper-
ill mill, in which a fine grade of cotton
goods is manufactured, shut down this
morning for a week.
Testimony Against Donohue.
NEWBURGH, N. Y., July 21.——'1‘he exam-
ination of Michael Donohue, the West
Shore switchman at the scene of the dis-
aster here last Thursday, was held here
before Recorder McCroskery. A member
of the section gang that was employed in
putting in the new switch on the day of
accident testified that after the train
passed into the freight yard he saw Dono-
hue set his switch as it should have been
set before the train arrived—that is, closed
against the freight yard. This accounts
for the fact that the switch appeared to be
all right after the wreck when examined
by railroad men. The recorder decided
that Donohue should be held for the action
of the grand jury, and Judge Charles F.
Brown, of the supreme court, fixed hisbail
at $3,500, which was furnished. The charge
against Donohue is manslaughter in the
second degree.

Senator E. B. Osborne Dead.
ALBANY, July 21.—-Senator Edward B.
Osborne, representing the old Fifteenth
district, was found dead in-his bed at his
residence on Clinton avenue, this city. Mr.
Osborne was born in Northampton, Mass.,
in 1814. He was educated at the printer’s
case and became publisher and editor of
various newspapers. In 1884 and again in
1890 he was elected to the lower house of
the legislature, and in 1891 to the state
senate. From 1886 to 1889 he was county
clerk of Dutchess county.
Stabbed Through the Heart.
DAYTON, 0., July 21.—Charles F. Duerr,
aged 41, a stone mason, was brutally mur-
dered about 2 o’clock in the morning while
returning with his wife and children from
a party. He was knocked .down with a
stone and then stabbed through the heart.
The murderers escaped. Suspicion rests
on Jacob Kennel, Joseph Ritzbach and
George Billett, three characters with un-
savory reputations.
Canada Banks and the Sherman Law.
MONTREAL, July 21.—A local paper has
interviewed all of the bank managers in
this city on the financial outlook of the
United States and on the recent failures,
bank crashes, etc. The unanimous expres-
sion is that the repeal of the Sherman sil-
ver law will alleviate the troubles which it
unboubtedly brought about. They state
that, with the present crop prospects, Can-
ada’s outlook for the season is very bright.
HE RBTRAGTS HIS CONFESSION.
He Now Claims That He, Dempsey and
Beatty Are‘Guilty of the CrimeJor
Which They “’ere Sentenced —3The
Hypocrite “Cried Like Ii Child."
PITTSBURG. July 21.——Yesterday after-
noon Patrick Gallagher, the confessQl‘. re-
quested the presence of Warden Wright
at his cell in the penitentiary. Warden
Wright responded at once. Gallagher Said!
“Warden, I have been in h—- all night.
and wish to say to you now that the’con-
fession made by me yesterday wasall a
hatched up scheme, andthatl was dragged
into it. I wish now to retract everything
that was said in that confession, and wish
you would send for the attorneys inter-
ested. as I will decline to sign the con-
fession.” . .
Warden Wright immediately notified
District Attorney Burleigh and Attorney
Porter by telephone, and they hurriedto
the penitentiary with all haste. 7 '
After a three hours’ talk with Gallagher,
District Attorney Burleigh came out-an
said that Gallagher had declared under
Oath that every statement he had made on
he, Dempsey, Beatty and Davidson are
guilty as indicted. He 'broke down - and
cried like a child. Warden Wright says
Gallagherhad a big bundle of manuscript.
which he took as the foundation of his lit—
the speech, which was prepared for him on
the outsim of the penitentiary, and which
he told on Wednesday.
There is considerable speculation as to
why Gallagher made the statement he did
exoneratiug Dempsey,butthe most plausi-
ble reason given was that he, thought the
Knights of Labor would have enough in-
fluence to secure him a pardon. However,
the story that Davidson went back on Gal-
lagher seems to have settled-him, .and he
decided to reiterate the statement he made
on the witness stand at the time Dempsey
was convicted. '
Since the attorneys for Dempsey have
put in their application for pardon they
will have to go through with it. If they
with draw it they would have as much
trouble in the future to get a rehearing as
if they go through with it now and are re-
fused. ‘When it became noised about the
court house that Gallagher had retracted
all he said on W’ednesday it created much
excitement and comment.
Thieving at the New Orleans Mint.
WASHINGTON, July 2I.—'Whil-e Treasurer
Morgan is non-committal on the report
that a defalcation exists in the mint at
New Orleans, it is learned that the treas-
ury department discovered a shortagein
the funds in the mint on June 26, and that
a searching investigation has shown that
the recent fire there was of incendiary
character, started for the purpose of covs
ering up robbery. . ., "

A Mint Cashier Arrested.
NEW ORLEANS, July 21.-—Yesterday- af—
ternoon Cashier James M. Dowling, of
the United States mint, was arrested on a
charge of embezzling $25,000 from the
government. He was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty. He waived examina-
tion before the commissioner and his bond
was fixed at 310,000 for appearance before
the circuit court. It is charged that the
recent fire in the mint, when considerable
money was destroyed, was of incendiary
origin.

and kept under the surveillance of the de-
tectives connected with the office. District

BLOODSHED IN KANSAS
Battle Between Striking Miners
and Men zit—Work;
WOMEN LED THE BBLLIGERBNTS.
Fired Upon by the Workers and Four
People Wounded—~11“: “'orkers Driven
from the ' rue—Further Trouble Feared.
When 3. ..m Work-men Are Introduced.
Warp. Cnv. Kan . July 21.—The ex-
pected crisis has come in the Kansas
ruiners’ strike. Miners who were at work
have been attacked by the strikers, and
blood has been shed. The feeling which
has been growing more and more bitter,
fur <"'veral days culminated yesterday in a
Helm: battle at Clent’s pit, one mile south
of this city. All the forenoon there were
murmurings of the approaching storm.
and the feeling was universal that serious
trouble was at hand.
Just before noon a band of 500 strikers,
headed by a hundred women, which had
been marching to the various strips,
reached Clent’s pit and sent in. a commit~
tee to persuade the miners working there .
to quit. This they refused to do, and when
the committee reported the entire body of
marchers moved on to the works to force
them out. The strip men were ready for
them, and when they passed the trespass
line they were fired upon, and a general
battle followed, in which Winchester
rifles. pistols and clubs were used. Over a
hundred shots were fired. and it is nothing
short of a miracle that nobody was killed.
One man was wounded in the forehead,
another in the leg, aboy in the foot, and
one of the women got abullet through her
arm. None of the wounds are fatal, and
it is beliewi that none Of them are danger-
ous. A number on both sides were badly
beaten up with clubs and clubbed guns.
The wounded were quickly removed by
their friends, and their names have not ‘
been learned.
As a result of the battle the men in the
strip were routed by the strikers and were
_ forced to flee for their lives. pursued by the
bowling mob, which would have lynched
them had they been caught. It is rumored
that a quantity of firearms have been re-
ceived here. The excitement continues at
a high pitch,» and further bloodshed now
seems inevitable. .
PITTSBURG,Kan. ,July 21.—Two warrants
for trespass are out against President Wal-
ters, of the Mine Workers’ union, one for
Crawford and the other for Cherokee
county. Notices have been posted for
some time forbidding the strikers to enter
upon the coal lands, but these have been
disregarded. The miners say their presi-
dent is able to give all the bond necessary
in the action, and that it will make no
diiference in the strike. Others believe its
will have the effect of preventing further
visiting of men at work and compelling
them to quit. The miners are in a state of
intense excitement over the wounding of
four of their men at Weir City. Many ex-
press the opinion that this is but the start,
and will result in more bloodshed. That
they are wrought up more now than at
any time during the strike is certain, and
there is no telling what the end will be.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan, July 21.—It is re-
ported here by the railroad authorities
that 1,000 colored men were put on the
cars as Birmingham, Ala, and started for
Kansas to take the places of the striking
miners. It is thought they will ~go to
Pittsburg, and there will be distributed’to
all the afiected mines in the state. Trouble
and perhaps bloodshed will follow such an
attempt.
