Raleigh, N. C, July 31. Senator
Vance in a letter Bays: "That charge
that a Democrat Is at Variance with his
party who refuses to favor uncondition
al repeat of the SbBrmau law depends
for truth upon what the party laid
down in Its platform at Chicago.
If promises or pledges amount to any
thing, the Chicago platform demands
the repeal of tbe law as an obstruction
to free coinage of silver. That Is its ob
vious meaning. If the law were out of
the way we, could have free coinage.
That is one of the things I propose to
put iu tbo place, of the Sherman law
and I propose to vote against repeal un
less that is to be done."

Sweill.li Iloneity.
A point which Boon uttractB tbo at
tention of travelers in Sweden is tho
punctilious honesty and truthfulness
of tho inhabitants. This is best soon
in tho many little incidents of daily
life. When asking for places at a
theater, for instance, tho ticket clerk
never fails to inform tho applicant if
owing to tlio crowded state of the
house a better jiosition would bo so
cured with a choaper ticket than the
ono asked for. Again, when parcels
aro taken out by steamers from Stock
holm to couutry places in tho neigh
borhood, they are just thrown out on
to tho quay, where they frequently
remain half tlio day without being
claimed.
It never seems to occur to any one
that thoy could j)os8ibly bo token by
anybody but their rightful ownors.

Bangkok, July 31. The Siamese
government has accepted the full terms
of the French ultimatum, the substance
of which is as follews:
Flint Recognition of the rights of
France Iu Annam and Cambodia on
the left or eastern bank of tho Me-Kong
river, as far north as the 23d parallel of
latitude.
Second Evacuation within a month
of the forts held by tbo Siamese on the
east bank of the river.
Third Full satisfaction for various
Siamese aggressions against French
ships and French sailors on tbe Mel
nam river.
Fourth Punishment of culprits and
provision for peouniary Indemnity to
the victims.
Fifth Indemnity of 200,000 francs
for various damages sustained by
French subjects.
Sixth Immediate doposlt of 800,000
fourth and fifth clause, or the assign
ment of taxeB in certain districts in
lieu of a deposit of 800,000, francs.
This ultimatum was sent July 10th,
and forty-eight hours was allowed for
Slam to mnke answer to tbe French
demand. July 21st Pavl, French min
ister at Bungkok, presented the ulti
matum to Prince Delvongae, Siamese
foreign minister. July 28d Slam replied,
stating the King was at a loss to under
stand what the rights of Annam and
Cambodia were on the left bank of the
Me-Kong river. The king expressed
bis willingness to abandon all terri
tories oyer wbioh the existence of those
rights could be proved, and called at
tention to the" fact that five months
previously he had proposed to submit
all contested terrltora) questions to in
ternational arbitration, Iu tho inter
terest of peace, however, tbe king of
fered to surrender territory as far north
as tbe 18th degreo of latitude, but no
further, and proposed that the islands
in the Me-Kong river be used in com
mon by Slam and France. All other
points of tbe ultimatum are conceded.
Tnls answer was not satisfactory to
France, and subsequently Pavle with
drew from Bangkok on a gunboat, and
tbe Freucb warships In tbe Melnam
river went to Koh-Sl-Chang island,
near the head of the gulf of Slam whore
they joined the French fleet under com
mand of Admiral Humann. France
thon determined to blockade the Sia
mese coast. There is a serious doubt as
to the time tbe blockade was to be
made effective. Tbe French govern
ment informed tbo British foreign of
fice It bad commenced July 20th. Lord
Roseberry, British foreign minister yes.
terday asked the French government
for a prompt explanation of this con
flict in dates. The answer Is not yet
madepobHo. With tbe acceptance of
the ultimatum by the Siamese govern,
ment, tbe war cloud in the East will of
course, pass over.
Bangkok, July 31. It Is stated hero
that England has protested to France
that her threatened blockade of tho
Siamese coast would not be a legal act,
and that France conceded the point
made by Great Brltlan. France, it Is
said, has undertaken that British com
merce will In no wise be Interfered with
byFrenoh warships. English vessels
will be allowed to cross tbe Melnam bar
Inward for Bangkok.
l'ARiB,July 81. A seml-ofilcial state
ment was given to the press saying
that Slam's acceptance gives complete
satisfaction to France and all who are
not desirous of making the Siamese
difficulty the occasion of fresh colonial
enterprise. Tbe statement adds: '-The
French government, desiring to give
proofs of Its good will to Slam, proba
bly will not raise further objections in
the affair."
Another semi-official statement says
tbo publlo will find proof that Great
Britain has not Intervened. The Jour
nal accepts the statement with a grain
ot salt. It says something was done
behind tbe scenes and tbe French are
likely to awake soon to tbe fact that
Great Britain after all got the better of
them iu tbe diplomatic negotiations,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Rosebery, British foreign secretary, has
had virtually a free hand In tho nego
tiations with France, and he has found
an able supporter in the Marquis of
Duflerln, British ambassador In Paris.
Each has maintained a dignified atti
tude far removed from bluster, but
firm beyond any misunderstanding.
Together they Impressed on French
officials' minds unmistakably their In
tention not to let anybody ride rough
shod over British interests In tt e
east. Great Britain's protest that the
blockade of tbe Siamese coaBt was Ille
gal and her suggestion that Interfer
ence with British commerce would not
bo tolerated, were made with such un
qualified plalness that tho Freuoh min
isters were sobered at once and Conced
ed the Justice of the British govern
ment's contention. There now Is littlo
doubt that a paclflo settlement of tho
dispute will be accomplished soon.
That such Is tbo case Is attributable no
less to Groat Britain's attitude than to
Siam's surronder. The territorial ar
rangements between France and Slam
are uot likely to cause any difficulty.
They will bo a matter of diplomatic
agreement. Among tho suggestions of
a compromise, the moat plausible one
is that France, nominally In gracious
nees to Slam, but really in respect to
British intervention, will leave to Slam
tbe territory north of tho 18th parallel.
Tbe principal burden of the enterprise
will bo found by the French govern
ment In convincing tbe French voters
at tho oomlng elections that they have
achieved a victory. Their success must
depond largely upon tbe present affair.
Will DamagO'RusHla.
Brrlin, July 81. It Is generally
held here that the tarlll war whloh has
been started betweon Russia and Ger
many is more likely to cause damago
to the former country than tbe latter.
It seems that Russia, in applyiug her
maximum tarlfl on German produots,
was mainly influenced by the unfavor
able early reports regarding tbo bar
vest prospects In Germany. These re
ports, It Is said, led Russia to believe
that Germany, desiring Russian grain,
would not retaliate. In this belief,
however, she was disappointed, as the
federal council raised the German taritt
on Russian produots, showing that
Germany is not so dependent on Rus
sian cereals as tbe IatUr country minus.
If the crop reports turned out to be cor
root, the situation might have been dif
ent. Rusala's belief was Justifiable In
May, but the considerations then taken
Into account do not hold now. Tho
condition of tho crops bus greatly Im
proved. It Is, therefore, argued that
Germany can bide her tlmo until Rus
sia reooanlzos that whatever Injury Is
done Is mainly upon herself. Com
menting upon tbe question of tax re
forms, tbe Germanla, an organ of tho
centrist or Cathollo party, says that
the party Is determined to combat any
sckemo tJiat will not reduce tbe Imports
to the lowest level It adds that the
apparent disposition to tbo contrary,
shown In the govermnout circles, will
be opposed.
