The Siamese government lias accepted the full terms or the French ultimatum, the substance of which was printed in last week's Gazette." There is yet some lit tie differences between' France and England regarding "the-terms,' but the difficulty may be regarded as practically settled., - The New York Herald's Paris tsable says: " Siam has yielded and the incident, therefore, is at an end. It has had as its practical and material consequences the in creasing of France's colonial power in Asia and a still further strain on the relations of France wilh England, but it will also have moral consequences of still greater importance, which" are now at tracting the attention of all the statesmen and diplomatists of Eu TOpe. The incident shows that the energy and enterprise of France is once more wide awake. The entire JTrench press, without exception, and all political parties of the country, so soon as the remarks of England became . a little more threatening, sustained the govern ment, and -when the French cabi net appeared to.be hesitating the old Journal des Debats demanded even more strongly than Henri Kochefort's . Iutransigeant, the adoption of the most energetic measures. Monarchial organs, uch as the Soliel and the Gaulois, repeated every day that old French traditions would not have tolerated any drawing back. The auti-Se- mitic organ said that if France drew back it would be because the Rothschilds were as powerful in -France as in England, where they ' -are related toLord Rosebery. Pa :per3 that reflect ;'the average bent of public opinion, 6uch as the Fi garo and Temps, were obliged to follow wilh the current, and such popular sheets as the -Petit Journal demanded every morning that the government should act energetic 'ally. When such unanimity reigns in the press, it must be admitted that the public is also unanimous, Although the French take but lit tle interest in colonial affairs and "are always ignorant of what is taking place at a distance, yet the instinctive resistance which reigns in the French nature will never submit to an insult to the national honor r to the flag of the country, France knows her army is stronger noxr than it ever was before, either as ."against England or Germany, and the whole nation would rise as one man if the country- were attacked. The yorld has believed, ven many Frenchmen have thought, that the internal dissen sions of France dominated the pa triotism. of the country. This is false, andT .--this is why passing events have made more impression on public 'opinion than what is taking place on the Me-Kong or the Men am. WHAT THE BILLION MEANS. A billion dollars is a sum so enormous that it is'most impossible for the mind to comprehend its vastness..- It would give one thou sand men fortunes of a million dollars each. It would provide twenty thousand men wilh a com-. petence of fifty thousand dollar?. It is nearly twice as much as the entire interest-bearing debt of the United States. It would pay all the expenses of the national gov ernment for two years and a half. If divided equally it would give about eighty dollars 'to every man who voted for president and vice- president in 1 892 It is three- fourths asiinuch'as all the currency in the United States gold, silver and paper. Enormous as this sum is, it does not equal the loss to the. American -people that has been caused by democratic rule. . The country ,. would ha e been more than a bil lion dollars richer today if Cleve- lar4 Viarl Kaau rlafoatorl and TTor. rison elected last November. The triumph oi the party of free trade anoTdishonest money has reversed I he current of business and indus try. The- shrinkage in values, which began on March 4 and has been intensified by democratic im. becilify at Washington, lias pre vailed throughout the whole coun try, and has cost the-people, as the Press has shown by incontroverti Lie figures, over $1,000,000,000. It is at once foolish and cowardly for democrats to try to evade re sponsibility for this unprecedented depreciation of the people's prop erty. The facts are self-evident. The nation was splendidly pros perous under republican govern ment. It has gone from prosperity to panic in four months under the government of the party that is pledged to prostrate American se curities and debase American cur rency. The free trade democracy and its president have robbed the people of more than a billion dol lars since democracy returned to power at Washington. New York Press. FOR WANT OF CASH. Portland and other Oregon cities have become sufferers from " the .stringency' of the money market." On the 27th, ult., the Oregon Na tional bank find the Northwest Loan and Trust Company Savings bank failed to open for business. George B. Markle is president of both these banks. The Ellensburg (Wash.) National bank, of which Mr. Markle was also president, sus pended on the "same day. A large amount of Multnomah county funds is lied up in the institutions. The failure of these banks crea ted further uneasiness and a run was begun upon other banks. The result was that the Commercial National, the Portland Savings and the Ainsworth National banks closed ' their doors on Saturday morning. It is reported that these will resume shortly. Frank De kum is president of the Commer cial National and of the Portland Savings. D. P. Thompson is vice president of the latler. ,Leander L. Hawkins is president of the Ainsworth bank. At Forest Grove the private bank of .C. M. and Thomas Keep suspended payment on the 29th. On Monday the First National bank of East Port land suspended. Like other ianks it was unable to realize on its se curities, and expects to resume soon. Richard Williams is its president. In the United States circuit court, July 31st,Levi An keny filed a complaint against the Pendleton Savings bank, asking for the appomtmentof a receiver, because, owing to the general de pression the bank is unable to con vert money due it or otherwise provide money for the continuance of its business. At Astoria on the same date the private banking house of I. W. Case closed its doors. The First National of The Dalles also suspended temporarily. The Commercial bank of Cottage Grove has decided to suspend. bus iness on account of the financial condition of the country, but does not do so under force. It is pay ing off depositors and will wind up its business as promptly as pos sible. . BENIFIT OF HUMANITY. Olympia dispatch. July 31: With the curious request of con tributing his body to the dissecting table "for the benefit of humanity,1' and after haying kept two pistols by his side for ten years with which to avoid lingering illness, of which he had a horror, Francise o Hoffman, a wealthy German mer chant of Olympia, died today three hours after an operation. He left an estate valued-at nearly $200, 000. .When the final operation came Hoffman warned his phy sicians that the time must be 9 o'clock, .not one minute sooner or later. He was a model of exact ness and precision. Hoffman's trouble was hernia, whieh ulti mately ended in such disoiganiza tion that life would not be earned on naturally. The operation was as good as expected under the cir cumstances. On the dissecting table Hoffman called the phy sicians around him, saying: "I hope you will be successful in your operation. ; My fate is in your hands. : If 1 die it is the re sult of necessity. Do not ask to be consulted in anything. You, Dr. Riley, know all my arrangements have been made." He gave all his property, amounting to nearly $200,000."! o hi wife, "in consideration of her faith and loving kindness." Before his death, and in the presence of witnesses, he' made a special re quest 'and Avish that a very thor ough and complete dissection of his body be made, lhat. the result might aid physicians in adminis tering to a disease of like nature and that the knowledge thereof might benefit and relieve humanity- ' - ' - . For the first time since the pas sage of the Sherman silver law the treasury in July failed to buy the full quota of 4,500,000 ounces of silver. The total purchase for the month was 2,384,000 ounces, leaving a shortage of 2,116,000 ounces. Congressmen Pence and Pell of Colorado were in Preston's room at the time, he rejected all offers and made a counter offer. Both oi them were much con cerned about what they claimed was the effort of the treasury de partment to '-bear" the price of silver in the markets of the world. They indicated their purpose to precipitate the silver discussion on the first working day of the extra session by a resolution of inquiry as to whether or not the secretary ot the treasury had not exceeded his authority in refusing to pur chase the 4.500,000 ounces in July as provided by law. Thos. D. Riordan, of San Fran cisco, attorney for the Chinese Six Companies, stares that, in connec tion with Joseph Choate, of New York, and other counsel, he is pre paring to make a second test of the constitutionality of the Geary Chinese registration law at the October session of the United States supreme court. He states that at the former hearing of the case Justice Harlan was in Paris, and that it is the practice of the supreme court to consent to a re consideration of tue points in volved in a decision given by oilier than a full bench, where im portant constitutional questions are concerned. He also cites the fact that tha death of Justice Blatchford has removed one of the five jurists who upheld the law. Many prominent Canadi an resi dents of New York met July 27th and formed themselves into a soci ety for the furtherance of endeav ors to bring about the annexation of Canada to the United States. The meeting was unanimously in favor of the adoption of the speed iest method of obtaining for Ca nadians the advantages of Ameri can citizenship. The association is to be called the Canadian-American Society. No less than 275 members signed the roll. Clarence Lincoln, a printer, was kicked from the steps of a moving car by a .brakeman at San Jose the 2Sth. When he struck the ground he rebounded and was run over by the train. He died the following day, and thebrakeman who is sup posed to have committed the act is under arrest. 25 CENTS Proves the efficacy of .

Secretary Hoke Smith was hung in effigy by the enraged citizens of Rome, a little town-of Adams coun ty, Ohio, Saturday night. A j number of pensions have been sus pended there, creating . much ill feeling, but the climax was reached "when the pension of J. L. Reed, h J veteran of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry, aged 83, was diopped. Reed served four years and five months, and his pension was his sole support. When he received the news of his suspension he be came a raving maniac. lhis aroused the citizens and they, led by John Furnier, a democrat, hung the secretary in effigy in the pres ence of 1,000 people, irrespective of party affiliations. While hunting in the mountains near Mt. Jefferson on Sunday, Ray Gee was accidentally shot in the leg by his companion, Alex Car roll. The injured man was con veyed to the house of a settler, and notwithstanding the terrible wound from the rifle bullet it is thought he will recover. A Little Daughter Of a Church of England minister cured " of a distressing rash, by Ayer's Sarsaparilla Mr. RiCHAKD Bieks, the well-known Druggist, 207 JScGill st., Montreal, r, Q., says: I have sold Ayer's Family Medicines for 40 years, and have heard nothing hut good said of them. I know of many WonderfuS Cures performed by Ayer's SarsSparilla, one in particular being that of a little daughter of a Church of Kngland minis ter. The child was literally covered from head to foot with a red and ex ceedingly troublesome rash, from which she had suffered for two or three years, in spite of the best medical treatment available. Her father was in great distress about the case, and, at my recommendation, at last began to ad minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot tles of which effected a complete care, much to her relief and her father's delight. I am sure, were he here to-day, he would testify in the strongest terms as to the merits of Ayer's SarsapariSIa Prepared by Pr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, items.
