The murderer waa placed in the county jail and the matter haa been diacuated all day by the people. Many threata of lynching were made, but nut much attention waa paid to them, aa it waa thought the time for frontier jnatice In Denver had paanod. Thia evening, however, there waa a large maaa meeting of unemployed men at Seventeenth and Market atreeta. There were apeechea made on the pres ent financial deprenmon and kindred topic.

At thia point Captain Crewa, the jailer and the guards, aaaiHted by aome of the city police, turned a heavy atream of water anon the crowd.

The legialature of the etate of Chihuahua has juat passed a law which, if enforced, will rid a considerable portion of the Kio Grande border of the desperate banda of-cattle thieve and smuggler who have committed depredation for the past aeveral years. The law pro vides that any one caught ahall be ehot. A great many of Uie thieve have their rendevou in Texae, some owning ex tensive ranches. They make raids on Mexican ranchers at night and drive the cattle across the river to the ranches which they own. The stolen stock ia re-branded and started on the trail to northern niarketa.

Outgoing vesaela tin en warned that thev must clear befo Saturdnv or enb- lint to detention. Tho blockade will extend along the entire north coast of the Gulf of Sinm. The French fleet, with M. Pavie, French minister resi dent, has gone to Koh Si Chang. The general expei'tiition is that early in August the French fleet will attack Bangkok and land eomo 5,000 men. There ia little doubt here that France's purpose ia to make ffiaiu a French col ony. The Siamese government ia ex ceedingly nnxiou to avoid open war fare. When the gunboat Lutfn waa at Menam bar early thia morning, the for eign minister sent to M. Pavie a note to the effect that the king and hia advisers were moft anxioua to maintain peace. All audi efforta, however, are believed by the Fngliah residents to be in vain. Unless F.ngland intervenee to assist in a settlement of the dispute there can be little expectation or even hope that France will refrain from extreme ineas- urea. Ta Kxaiulne the Oregon Natloual.

Large orders given by the New York financial house for gold abroad to be imported is re corded ai the treasury department aa a favorable aymptoni of returning confi dence. Much gold now coming here is the same exported several months ago. The heavy shipment of American cereala abroad within the past two month haa materially reduced the balance of trade against us. In each circumstances, it will be natural for the United States to continue to receive gold from abroad. Gold in considerable quantities ia also coming here from the West Indies. This Spanish gold, on reaching our shores, Cuds its way to the assay offices, ia melted in bars, and this and the Knropean gold soon find lodgment in the United States treasury. From the pres ent indications the gold in the treasury therefore will soon paee 100,000,000. It ia today 97,560,000. When the $100, 000,000 mark ia passed the treasury will again resume th issuance of gold certi ficates, which, under the law, had to be euspended when the treasury gold waa reduced below $100,000,000. Gold certi ficates now outstanding aggregate fSO, 000,000, an unusually small quantity for the treasury to have. The department, however, shows little or no interest whether the gold ia fl 00,000,000 or f'5, 000,000, as it ia the policy of Secretary Carlisle to use the gold on band the same aa he does tho currency in meeting the obligations of the treasury, so for several months past the gold reserve haa lieen trei'ed aa available. Cash in treas ury today ia $122,000,000. A N X IOI S TO HK ANMtiKll. Canadians Furnlnf a Boclety With This Object In View. New Vokk, July 29.

Confessed ta Wife Murder. Astokia, Or., July 2!). John Heneen ha confessed to the murder of his old and unoffending wife. Hansen's man ner and bearing all along, and especi ally hia conduct at the funeral of his murdered wife, stamp him aa a man of iron nerve, reckless of means and care less of consequences. No horror was visible in hia face when he bent over the body of Ida victim at the morgue and kissed the cold clay; no remorse seemed to move him, except aa a pass ing cloud, when he heard the clods fall upon her coffn in Greenwood. There w-aa scarcely need for him to confess, for Sheriff Smith and hia aids and Prosecuting Attorney Curtia were weav ing an unbreakable web of circum stantial evidence around him. So close and connected ia the testimony which those oflicera have secured that convic tion, in .aseof trial, would have been certain. Will He I'aabletu WedL'ntll Ilrremlirr. San Francisco, July 29.

SURRENDER OF SUM She Has Accepted tie Full Terms of France's Ultimatum. THE WAR CLOU) DISAPPEARS Much Excitement in the Foreign Of fice in Paris When the Siamese Minister So Reported. Paris, July 29. Prince Vadehana, the Siamese minister, went to tho foreign office this morning to communicate to M. Develle, minister of foreign affairs, Siam' decision to accept the terms of France' ultimatum, lie waa received by M. Reroil, chief aecretary, who, with out waiting for the prince to apeak of hia mission, informed him that M. De vello would be unable to receive him, aa with the departure of M. Pavie from Bangkok all diplomatic intercourse be tween France and Siain had stopped. M. Revoil waa proceeding to expresa hia regreta, when Prince Vadehana ex claimed : "But I bring a flag of truce ; we accept the ultimatum." M. Revoil did not wait to hear more. He bolted into M. Develle' presence, ehouting,',Siam accepts the ultimatum." He then explained that Prince Vade hana had brought the news and waa waiting outside. M. Develle at once re ceived the prince w ith exceptional cor diality. The prince repeated that Siam accepted, and expressed the hope that diplomatic relatione would bo resumed. A Wanton Murder. Astokia, Or., July 27. Mrs. Caroline Hansen was murdered in a patch of raspberry bnshea near her home Wednes day evening. She waa found face down, her akull crushed in, and the head resting in a pool of blood, which waa etill warm. She waa a quiet, good old woman, against whom no mortal could be expected to hold either enmity or jealousy ; and neither lust nor gain could have incited her slayer to the dreadful deed. The scene of the murder waa the family reeidence on Bear creek, ten miles from this city. The general opinion is that her hus band, James Hansen, now under arrest on suspicion, committed the foul deed. The murdered woman was atruck from behind, a stalwart arm swung the ax and a cold-blooded fiend left the body where it fell. The crime, Dr. Belt believed, had been committed within twelve hours, and that instant death had ensued. All of the evidence against Hansen ia purely circumstantial, but atrongly point to hia guilt. He told several conflicting stories and hia evidence at the coroner's inquest waa oontradicted in several im portant particulars. The jury returned a verdict that deceased came to her death by foul play at the haiide of a party or parties unknown; that from the evidence they believed John Han een to be the perpetrator and recom mend that he be held to await the ac tion of the grand jury. Wednesday, soon before her death, Mra. Hansen told her niece she be believed her husband would kill her. Hansen drank heavily and waa known to have frequently quarreled with his wife. There was some talk of lynching among the settlera and the suggestion made that Hansen bo etrung up to a tree with a view of securing a confes sion, but the sheriff' presence deterred the men from acta of violence.

The Dalles, Or., July 6h, 1803. Highest of all In Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTE J PURE WASHINGTON LKTTEIi. From mir Kinulur Cnrrcapomli'iit. The congressmen aro not yet coming in. They are postponing na long aa poasible the evil hour when hot passion with a hotter atmosphere must contend. Only a few are to be found within the limits of the District of Columbia. But the group that forms the background of congresa ia assembling, liko the cloud growing out of many thin vapors. Face that have been associated with the ses sions of congresa for an indefinite term of years, and which disappear myster ioualy at the close of each session, are' seen on the avenue and in the hotel lob bies. Most of them look etrangely seedy and hollow-eyed, like men awak ened from a sound sleep at an unaccus tomed hour. Their expressions of be wilderment aecm to question : "Why thia unusual disturbance of our summer slumber?" Where these men and women dwell during the long summer seasons and how they ao quickly ecent the coining session ia one of the mysteries or dark secrets of life at the nation's capital. With the adjournment of congress they disappear with red faces and flaring noses as a rule, and they return at the end of their retreat pale, with parched lip and the glitter of great thirst ia their eyes. One familiar with Washing ton life would know from these sign that a session waa near, if he liad not heard of Mr. Cleveland'a call. It ia but a very short while before the opening of the extra se8sion. The capitol will be ready. So will the cap ital. But for the presence of foreign tourists bound for the White City, the hotels have been almost deserted during the summer. Places w hich have been accustomed to throngs all the winter long have been tenantless. In a few days there will be a changed aspect of atla'rs. The sidewalk of the avenue will be thronged. Politics will be in the air thick enough to cut with a knife. Rumore will be more numerous than the- . sands of the sea. Washington when the national legislature is about to begin to get ready to commence one of its struggles is different from the Washing ton of the dog day in an off year. The nation ia guided from here, and many things stop when the history factory, stops. The various phase of aoido-polilical life at Washington contain few more in teresting aspects than ia to be found in the notable turnout that from time to -time have become familiar to the eye of;" Washingtoniana. It ia the foreign- equipage that have been most resplend ent. A genuine sensation waa produced by the late D'Arco Valley, who, ' ahortly after his installation here aa German minister, made the round of calls on the cabinet in hi dark-blue paneled car riage attended by hia men in full mili tary regalia. He was a sight long to be remembered. Mr. Gregcr, of the Rus sian legation, was aleo instrumental in giving Washingtoniana their first glimpse of a genuine Russian drosky. The tournout, with ita dramatic acces sories, even to the etolid-Iooking, big nosed driver w ith husky crop of hair cnt straight from ear to ear, standing out like u w hiskbrouin under hia peculiarly fiat, low-crowned hat, were imported direct from Russia. The latu president Arthur, who for dignified bearing and the general elegance of hia equipngea, lias never been excelled by any incum bent of the white house, owned a little piebald pony presented to him by an Indian chief during n trip through the Yellowstone park. The president was a tall man, wtiich waa to unexpectedly like that famous one of John Gilpin that the experience waa never repeated. T'litertMlim ateveiison. Sfaiti.k, July 2. 'fecial.
