has telegraphed her ultimatum to the

with within twenty-four hours.
Figaro says the terms of the ultimatum
are tlmt Hani e'a:tiute the left bank of
the Me-Kong river, give guarantee for
the faithful performance of treaty obli
gation, and pay indemnity for outrages
on tiie French. As France is already in
possession of the Lower Me-Kong, she
will control nearly the entire river if
Ham concedes. This is a decided
extension of the French claims
toward the west, as the mountain
range, heretofore the boundary of the
F rench claim, lies fur eaHt of Me Kong
river. The present claims take In the

in the wool schedule on the McKinley
bill. Hereafter the material known as

Denver, July 20. There will be no
more bank failures here; the panic wore
itself out yesterday. There were scarcely
a dor.en depositors at the paying teller's
windows of the remaining Imtik at the
opening this morning, w hile at the re
ceiving teller's windows vera strings oi
depositors, reaching nearly to the street,
lined up, and money is going back into
the bank vaults almost as fast as it went
ont the past three days. There may be
a few commercial failures in the next
few days as a remit of the bauk failures,
but it is believed no bad ones. It is
stated that the McNamara dry goods
house, which failed Monday, has settled
with its princitaj creditors, and will re
sume next Monday.
Comptroller Krkrt Will At Thr.ni.
Washington, July IS. Comptroller
F'xkels sent a dispatch to the national
bank examiner at Ienver today in
which he say: "I wish you would an
nounce to tlrti officers of the banks
w hich have failed iu Itenver that it is
my intention to lend tliem every aid
possible looking toward a speedy re
sumption on their part, and that I shall
not only grant them sufficient time to
enable them to collect such amounts as
are speedily collectable, but to get to
gether such amounts as will enable
them to open on a small basis." The
comptroller advises the citizens who
have foolishly brought about the crisis
by w ithdrawing tlseir funds to do the
best they can toward repairing the dam
age by redepoeiting. He authorizes the
examiner to employ assistance in col
lecting money to the end in view, and
ha ordered F-xauiiner Mcliugh of Iowa
to assist him. Sjeaking of the matter
he said the failures were not the fault
of the bank officials, but a foolish lack
ol confidence on the part of the deposit
or. In all such cases he would help
the failed bunks to resume.
No Work In Colorado.
Dknvku, July 20. The closing down
of the silver mines, smelter, reduction
works, coal mine, railway and facto
ries, IntH put the hthoring classes in a
deplorable condition. Jt i estimated
that there are 10,000 idle men in llenver
and 20,000 in the side towns, half of
w hom are making their way here to be
come a public charge. To avoid this
the commercial bodies will ask the rail
roads to make a $ rate to the Missouri
river for this class, in the expectation
they will lie able to get work on farms.
It is estimated Colorado, Utah, Mon
tana and New Mexico merchants have
countermanded orders for goods in New
York for over 12,000,000.

Tientsin, July 20. Information is. re
ceived here from Pekin to the effect
that China has taken measures to sup
(ort Siam as against France. Siimi has
for many years paid tribute to China,
but only as a matter of usage or conven
ience, and it is now apparent that China
is determined to assist the Siamese
against F'rench encroachment upon
their territory. The interference of
China will add a most interesting fea
ture to the F'ranco-Siamese dispute, and
will probably result in a modification of
some of the demand of France con
tained in her ultimatum.
Ilunli Will Supporl Fraar.
Paris, July 20. The statement is
published that the Russian ambassador
to France ha given assurance to that
couutry that Russia w ill support France
on all jioints involved in the Siamese
difficulty. It is further said the FIus
eian fleet in Chinee waters ia under
orders to proceed to the Gulf of Siam for
the pnrpose of supporting and protect
ing the F'rench resident of Siam. It is
expected to arrive there soon.
Th. Ilratillan Inaargrnt..
New York, July 20. The Herald's
corresjiondent at Montevideo telegraphs
that the insurgent vessel Italia arrived
there last night in charge of the Uru
guayan gunboat (ieneral Rivera, which
captured her near Maldonado, Uruguay.
Colonel Pintos and 20 other revolution
ists landed in Molendo before the Italia
was captured. It is reported that Gen
eral Saraiva is still besieging Yaguaron.
A cablegram from Managua, Nicara
gua, says that propositions of )eaee
have been sent by special messenger to
Leon, the seat of the revolution. Hopes
are entertained that a settlement will
be easily effected, a the conservatives
have entirely lost ground. Provisional
President Zavala has issued a manifesto
calling upon all engaged In the revolu

provide security for them in the future.

HEATH MI'KUEK TRIAL.
Iniprra.lon That Ther Will Ba No
Verdlrt.
Fbekno, Cal., July 20. Judge Holmes'
charge to the jury in the Heath case this
morning was that the verdict might read
guilty of murder in the first degree,
second degree, manslaughter or acquittal.
He instructed that circumstantial evi
dence, when complete and salisfactory,
is to tie given as much weight a direct
evidence, but every circumstance must
be reconcilable with the assumption of
guilt and must conflict with the presump
tion of innocence. If Heath was
on the ground at the time
McWhirter was killed he must be found
guilty, whether he fired the fatal shot or
not. The motive for the murder need
not be proved, and it takes nothing
from the chain of circumstances going
to prove guilt. But if thete circum
stances can be accounted for on the
hypothesis of innocence, it is the jury's
duty to acquit the defendant. The jury
should give defendant the benefit of a
reasonable doubt, but this doubt should
be reul, and not fanciful and taken ad
vantage of only to escape an unpleasant
verdict.
The case was given to tne jury at 9 1"0
o'clock. A largj crowd of people re
mained in front of tha jury-room all
forenoon waiting to hear the result.
The sheriff cleared them away once or
twice, but they did not go far. After
noon they came back, ami the belief be
gan to grow firm that there would lie
no verdict.

sondent of the Times says, w hile driv
ing from the railway station to hig pal
ace Thursday evening, King Carlos, saw
a powerful man trying to kill a man he
had throw n to the ground. The king
juiiiMd from the carriage and seised the
arm of the large man, at the same time
calling to the man on the ground to
make his escape. An aide-de-camp ran
to the king's assistance. The big man
knocked down the aide and turned on
the king, w ho dealt him a hard blow on
tho head with his walking stick. The
rullian tried to draw his knife snd re-
volver, but was overpowered by the
king, w ho delivered him to the police.
The king wa uninjured.

Qnxcv, 111., July 21. Wednesday
night S. P. Rradshaw wa called to the
door of the residence of Mrs. Rrecken
ridgc, in Kingston, 30 miles from this
city, by a mob of 200 masked men and
shot to death. He was 20 years old, and
had In-en a salesman for the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company, but on account of
stories of his association with Mrs.
Rreckenridge, and threats of a coat of
tar and feathers from the residents of
that village if hi visits were not stopped,
he hail been transferred to another dis
trict. The woman ia about 28 years of
age, fairly good looking, and with fascin
ating manners. A few weeks ago she
enticed the man into her house, and
w hen he was in her room her husband
crawled from under the bed and forced
him to sign a promisory noto for $150.
F'or this act her husband ia in jail.
Friends of the man had remonstrated
with him on account of his infatuation
for the woman. She was here looking
for him only two days ago, and in an
effort to prevent their meeting his em
ployer sent him out on a business trip.
Rradshaw was well liked by his asso
ciates. A PREHISTORIC C1TV.
A Valuable Ilcorty Lately Made In
the Colorado Ite.ert.
San Dieoo, Cal., July 22. The ruins
of a prehistoric city has just been dis
covered by a party of prospectors from
Yuma when on the Colorado desert in
search of the Peg Leg mine. The wind
! had laid bare the walls and remains of
stone buildings for a distance of 420 feet
in length by 200 feet in width. Gigantic
pillar quaintly carved to represent
dragons' head9 and rattlesnakes still
stood in the sand of the desert, support
ing on their tops huge slabs of granite
weighing many tons. The frieze orna
mentation resembled Egyptian sculpture
and exhibited a greater degree of skill
than is possessed by Indian artisans of
the present day. Fragments of pottery
found underneath the debris, together
with a crumbled piece of frieze, were
brought by Hank Ferguson, one of the
prospectors, to this city. One of his
associates came to San Diego and the
others returned to Yuma nearly two
weeks ago, but the story of their discov
ery was carefully guarded in tehe hop
that in some way they might profit by it.
Ferguson called the matter to the atten
tion of H. C. Gordon, who interested
John II. Gay, Jr., a wealthy man, of
this city, in the discovery, and a week
ago yesterday, in company with four
others, they went to explore the ruins.
They were driven back by a sand storm,
reaching this city today, but will make a
careful examination of the ruins later in
the season, when conditions are more
favorable for extended exploration.
From the relics exhibited, it is evident
that an important archieological dis
covery has been made.
Now a Hertous Matter.
New York, July 22. The Sun's In
dian cable says it is not too much to say
that in four capitals, London, Paris, St.
Petersburg and Peking, the situation is
regarded as presenting greater danger
than any with which diplomacy has had
to deal in several years. Since the
terms of the F'rench ultimatum were
made known the wires between London
and Peking have been burdened with
diplomatic corresjiondence of the high
est importance. The motives and in
tentions of the French government are
by no means clear to the other powers.
FIven F'.ngland did not regard the situa
tion a serious until yesterday. It is
generally believed here that Russia w ill
take immediate advantage of the oppor
tunity, which ensuing complications
may oiler, to improve her position in
the Pamir, even if she does not openly
assist F iance, in case of Chinese inter
ference. IVnnoyrr' Shot.

Sai.km, Or., July 3d. The grave fact
that tho newspaper press of the country
lias recatedly stated, without official
denial or public protest, that the presi
dent of the United States is using the
federal patronage to influence congres
sional action favorable to his wishes on
financial questions, is most unmistak
able evidence of national decadence.

Asiii.ani), Ky., July 21. A report is
just received from Wise county, Ya.,
that a fight took place yesterday , in
that county, between state troops and
the Fleemans gang of outlaws, in which
four soldiers were killed, and six out
laws mortally wounded.
For several months Fleemans' boys,
four in number, have acted very badly.
They are accused of participating in a
triple murder some months ago. Doc
Taylor, one of the gang, was captured
and hung for the crime. Two weeks ago
the governor sent a company of sixty
soldiers to assist the sheriff in arresting
the outlaws. Wednesday the soldiers
overtook them and a battle ensued.
Four soldiers were killed. Oliver Flee
mans was also shot and dying.
A SMOOTH CONKIOKNCE MAN.
Swindled a Number or California Hop
Grower. Santa Rosa, Cal., July 21. James
Metzler came here a few weeks ago,
and represented himself to lie a hop
buyer for the Pacific Hop Company of
Seattle. One of the men he first con
tracted with was J. N. Bailhache of
Healdsburg. He agreed to give Bail
hache An 8-cent advance when the top
figure in tho market was only 21 cents.
Bailhache consigned hia hops on the
promise that the money would be forth
coming right away, but it did not come.
He went to San Francisco and got a bill
of lading, and found that Metzler ob
tained his advance. J. McGill, a
Healdsburg grower, consigned his hops
to Metzler, and, it ia reported, mourns a
balance due of fOOO from the smooth
agent. It is also reported that four car
loads went from Mendocino county, for
which the proper returns have not been
made. While here, he so ingratiated
himself in the confidence of Y. B.
Griggs, hotel clerk, that the clerk in
dorsed a draft of S0 on his house, which
draft was dishonored, leaving the clerk
to put up the money at the bank where
the check was cashed. He played the
same game on the proprietor of the
Sotoyme house at Healdsburg, catching
him for f 100, and a Sacamento man is
t"0 worse off for hi9 acquaintance.
Griggs, the Santa lioea man victimized,
corresponded with the Pacific Hop Com
pany, and the company in reply wrote
that they were sorry for him, but that
Metzler is a rascal, or, at least, had
proved so to them ; that he i (behind
with them in commissions; had drawn
money in Healdsburg and Sacramento;
and that his indorsers in those places
are in the same fix as Griggs. Metzler
ha not been in these parts since hi
last transaction with Griggs.

Memi-his, July 22. The juil of Shelby
county, within the city limit of Mem
phis, wa broken into by several hun
dred men at midnight, and Lee Walker,
a nescro, aged 22 years, was taken out
and strung up to a telegraph pole, 100
yards from the jail. Afterward his body
was cremated in the yard of a lumber
linn near by. The negro culprit was a
native of North Mississippi, and his cal
endar of crimes i the blackest in his
tory. Within the past week he made
four attempts to commit rape, two being
successful, one victim being n small nirl
o'-j years old, who was badly lacerated,
and the other u married woman of his

He had just ln-en released from the pen

McLendon was struck over the head
w ith a chair within thn jail door. He
was curried upstair, placed in bed and
received surgicui attention. Most of the
mob were masked, ami they seemed to
be im. inly railway switchmen. The rail
way bar was, after several attempts,
gotten inside the jail and two
iron doors were battered down,
occupying a half hour liefore they
reached the cell w here the victim wa.
The man was marched out amid yells
from the mob, the jail door being
thrown w ide open, but no other prison
ers were interfered with. The man's
clothing was torn from his Ixxly a he
moved with the mob to Williams' lum
ber yard, 200 yards north of the jail,
where he was strung up to a telegraph
pole. He was naked, the lighted gas
lamp near by making him plainly visi
ble to the throng. Hu was lacerated
with knives and his throat was cut be
fore lieing finally hanged. His hands
not having been tied, he clutched at the
rope when raised off his feet. The sight
was a ghastly one. He was a man of
powerful build, his head towering above
those of the mob who surrounded him.
At 2 o'clock this morning his mortal re
mains were only ashes among the em
bers of the funeral pyre froui which he
had been destroyed.

Teaiiel Preparing fur Action.
London, July 23. Tho Bangkok cor
respondent of the Times says Saturday
the French gunboats were fixing their
chain armor amidships. The Siamese
vessels were also preparing for action.
All have their steam up. The French
legation professes to believe the gun
boats cannot cross the bar until high
tide Wednesday, which would leave
time to complete an amicable settle
ment. The territory Siam offers to sac
rifice covers the extreme point of the recently-attempted
F'rench aggression.
The cession involves the evacuation of
the Siamese porta of Poowadone, AltOr '

A RUSSIAN XAV.U. STATION:
I am credibly informed that Russia
recently sounded Siam us to whether
the latter was disposed to concede the
island of Saland or Jnnkerilon on the

west of the Malay peninsula for a Rus

In the course of tho day the French cap

estimated that 3(M) Siamese were killed
