EFFECT OF THE, SURRENDER.
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.

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

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
