The Demands of the French Government ~ ‘Will Be Not Modified, Bven at the Re- quest of England— Agreement Entered Into by Salisbury and Waddington— Bentiment in Europe—General Foreign News. Panis, July 22.— Prince Vadhana, the Siam - e Minister to France, to-day bad an inter- View with M. De Ville, the Foreign Minister, and asked that an eXtension of time be granted to Siam in which to make formal reply to the demands made upon her in the M. De Ville informed Prince Vadhana that the time granted tothe Siamese Government for the purpose of replying to the ultimatum was the utmost Umm that France would concede. A reply must be given in the time specified, and if Biam did not accede to the demands France would take steps to enforce them as stated in the ultimatam. ~ The Paris newspapers profess to regard the Marquis of Dufferin’s return as an admission that the French Government was not re- sponsible for the attacks made on him by the press in connection with the Cocarde for- geries. The Delligerent attitude of the French gunboat anchored before Bangkox 18 approved by the Paris editors on the ground that the recent conduct of the Siamese has Warned them to be ontheir guard against a sudden attack from the palace. Itis hoped, however, that the necessity for such threatening performances will soon Gisa ppear and the long continuation of them might lead to regrettable incidents. Rear Admiral Humann, the newspapers say, will recall the gunboat outside the bar in case the ultimatum be rejected, asthe river at Bang- Kok is too shallow to allow the Forfait and Triomphant to enter. The French commanders fear the simoon will delay and imperil the gunboats which havo been Called to Siamese waters from the Cochin China station. The exact amount ofthe indemnity demanded by France from Siam is not Known. It is said the original demand of 3,000,000 francs has been abated to 2,500,000 or less. * CANNOT BB MODIFIED. Lorpow, July 22.—The Times’ Paris corre- spondent says M. De Ville, even if desirous ofdoing 80, after seeing the Marquis of Duf- ferin, cannot modify his demands on Siam before the forty-eight hours allowed for Siam to qnswer have expired. Then, how- ever, h action will be fixed. This makes it egsier to express amiable opinions on the Marquis“ return, the obvious result of which will be thatthe appointment of M. De Crais, formerly Ambassador to Austria, as Ambassador to England will be gazetted forthwith. A FORMER AGREEMENT. New Tonk, July 22.—A London dispatch states that the Marquis of Salisbury three years ago made an agreement with M. Wad- Gington, French Ambassador in London, by which India should occupy the Shan States, between Burmah and the northeast frontier of Siam, although claimed by Siam, while France was to have all the left bank of the Mekong. If this is so, the question as affecting Kugland will resolve itself into a delimita- tion of frontiers by a boundary commission. That France. expected such a position of English and French territory is shown by an important article in the Paris Temps, whieh declares that the theory of **buffer’’ States has had its day, as is proved by the mixing of English ana French possessions in Asia, Africa, Oceanica America. Engiand herself has been the first to destroy ‘‘buffer’’ States, and a committee on frontier is better calculated to preserve peace than the existence of butter“ States, ‘which generally are mere fields for the in- trigues of over-zealous functionaries. SOUTH ARERICAN TROUBLES. Marea, Nicaragua, July 22.—Hope for the settlement ofthe trouble in Nicaragua without bloodshed has been abandoned. Zavala’s overtures for peace were @newered to-day by the revolutionists in a way that could not be misunderstood. The steamers seized by the insurgens of Leon to. Gay bombarded Materno where the Govern- ment troops are encamped. Their fire was | returned and two steamers were struck by shells from Government battery. Reinforce. ments are now marching to Materno and Gen. Aviiez will to-day the field operations. It is reported that ident Ezeta of Sal- vador has discovered a conspiracy against him.

The train is said to be a freight and the victims of the disaster are said to be persons who were beating their way eastward. NO ANIMOSITY. — — wee But There Was an Inexplicable Variance Between the Bids. At the meeting of the Buildiag Committee of the School Board, held last night, mr. James Ruane was a spectator, and a letter signed by him, and setting forth the allega- tion shat the committee was showing favor- itism in letting the painting contracts, was read by Chairman Brockman. The letter Stated that Mr. Ruane had been the lowest bidder on sixteen different schools out of fifty-two he had furnished estimates upon and that despite the fact that he was entitled to the contracts as the lowest bidder he received only five contracts, netting him only $276. The author of the letter was eager to know if the Ruane firm was the victim of the spleen of a hostile member of the committee, inferring that Director Rutledge was the member who opposed him. The letter was passed around and when Mr. Rutledge read it he Became visibiy af TWO MORIGO DOWN The Recent Panic Denver Being Du- plicated at lilwaukee. — THE MILWAUKEE sa AND SOUTH SIDE SAVING FAIL.

Claimant Newby’s Fate Now Rests With tions, good investments, but not now avail- the Jury. able, was the cause of the suspension, At noon the situationin bank circles had not materially changed except that the crowds at several of the banks had tncreased in consequence of the spread of the news that the South Side Savings Bank and Mil- waukee National Bank had failed. The run an the Merchants’ Exchange Bank is proba- bly the , héaviest, but the crowd at the Second Ward Bank is nearly as large. The Merchants’ Exchange Bank is paying out money freely, and its officers are confident that they will be able to meet every demand. The depositors in the Second Ward Bank are mainly German workingmen who geem to have become anic stricken, despite the tact that the bank s backed by Milwaukee’s wealthy brewers, who have given a personal guarantee for everything the bank contains. The air ig full of rumors of failures and impending fallures in mercantile circles, but up to noon no sus- pensions had occurred, President Trumpf of the South Side Savings Bank says depositors had been making very large withdrawals during the past month, while collections have been small and de- posits light. The officials and directors de- cided that they could not do business long under the circumstances and con- cluded that in the interests of their patrons and themselves it would be better to suspend without further delay. While they hope tobe able to resume after the storm has blown over, they are not able to state anything definite. The trouble which has culminated in the suspension of the bank was the inevitable result of the present de- ggg and uneasy condition of financial af.- airs. The closing of the Milwaukee National Bank wasa surprise even to someof the stockholders. J. „ Pereles, who owns a block of the bank’s stock, said there is no reason why bank should have closed except officers were afraid to stand a run. A state- ment made a few days ago showed that the bank had assets in excess of the labilities amounting to between $500,000 and , 000, People who were not posted could not be- lieve that the bank, which was one ot the oldest in the city, had failed and scores of people walked into the entrance, read the notice announcing the Dank suspension and walked out again. The run on the Merchants’ Exchange Bank is sudsiding, in consequence of the posting of A guarantee signed by Charles ister, the Vogels, John slack, Julius Goll and other wealthy stockholders. A repetition of the uarantee made at the timeof the Plankinton ank failure by — Pabst and the other brewers will doubtless be made at the Second Ward Savings Bank. The crisis will doubtless be passed in un. waukee to-day, as to-day’s failures have cleared the air of all menace for some time to come. $21,240.18; bills of other banks, 51211; frac- tional paper currency, nickels aid cents, $125.81; specie, $82,700; legal tende notes, $58,000; redemption fund with Unitd States Trersurer (5 per cent circulation), $4600; due from United States Treasurer, other than 6 per cent redemption funds, $3,000; tetal, $1,- 965,385.76.

The court sent the jury out to lunch in charge of an officer with instructions to return at 1:30 to receive the charge of the court. The gen- eral impression is that the jury will acquit the defendant, although it is not expected that an agreement will be reached at once. The defendant was in court all forenoon and listened to the arguments with marked interest. He wore his usual Grand army sult adorned with a Grand Army button. Mrs. Newby,his avowed wife,sat beside him. Before court opened the defendant perused a morning paper, He seemed to read with some difficulty, his head moving back and forth with each line. He wore a pair of spectacles, possibly to give him a more ven- erable appearance. Mr. Creighton of Fairfield addressed the jury for the defense to-day by going over substantially the same ground covered by the 140 witnesfes for the defense, against the Government’s thirty-one witnesses, and asked the jury which they would believe. He could not explain how it was that the defendant became identified with the person known as Daniel Benton. There had evidently been a resemDiance and de- fendant had probably adopted the name during his long period of mental darkness at the suggestion of some one who had mis- taken him for Benton. How could the numerous scars and the wound on the head be explained away if this was not Bill Newby? Mr. Creighton closed witha pathetic ap- Deal to the jury in behalf of Newby’s aged mother, now blind and feeble from almost a century of life. As this aged woman was helped on the train on her way back home the last thing she sald was: Lell them I gave my boy to the Govern- ment when they needed him, and now they ought to give bim back to me. The argument for the prosecution was closed by Senator Shutt, United States Dis- trict Attoruey. He sala that when defend- ant first applied for a pension he stated his age as 49; that was the age of Dan Benton, but in his supplemental ap- plication he claims to be 66, which was the age of Newby. He ridiculed the idea of in- sanity and said that defendant was simply a wily fraud. He regarded the evidence of Bill Newby's death at shiloh as conclusive, °. ATTACHED BY THE MINERS.

Record of Bank Failures Since the First Day of the Year. | WASHINGTON, July 22.—In addition to the heavy failure ofthe government depository at Louisville, three other failures of national banks were reported to Oomptroller Eckels this morning, the faflures occurring in sec- tions widely apert. The failed banks are: The State National Bank of Vernon, Tex. , capital $100,000; the First National Bank of Vernon, Tex., capital $80,000, and the State National Bank of Knoxville, Tenn., capital $100,000. All these banks are small institu- tions, the deposits in each being in the neighborhood of $100,000. Gov. Coroer, connected with the National Bank of Commerce of Denver, had an inter- view with Comptroller Eckels this morning as to the bank resuming business. While not assured, it is probaDie that arrangements may be perfected by which the bank can pee in a short time. Stace Jan. 1 nearly 200 national banks have closed their doors aceainst less than fifty dur- ing the same period last year. Of the fall - ures this yearfive have been United States depositories as follows: The Frst National Gank of Little Rock, Ark. ; the Gate City National Bank of Atlanta, Ga. ; the People’s By nal Bank of Denver, Lolo. ; the German FiConai Bank of Denver, the Kentucky National Bank of Louisville. This latter bank, which closed its doors to-day. had by me last report received here $330,000 of Unite’ States funds. The Government, however, will not lose any- thing by these fallures as each national Dank that is a Government .depository has to deposit United States bonds to the amount of Government money it is allowed to carry. These bonds,in case of the failure of the bank, are sold for the account of the Government, and as United States bonds are at a premium aifmficulty in realizing. This afternoon Comp- troller Eckels ordered Dank examiners to take charge of the falled banks as follows: Escott, at Louisville, Ky.; Plumber, at Knoxville, Tenn.; Sawyer, at Russell, Kan. ; Stone, at Vernon, Tex., and I ynch, at Mil- waukee, Wis. CARPENTERS TO STRIKE. They Will au Uniess Contractors Live Up te the Union Scale. The District Council of the Carperiters’ Union is prepared to call to account any boss who tries totake advantage of the slack times and induce their men to work for less than the union scale of wages. Yesterday sixteen carpenters in the employ of Con- tractor Charles B. McCormick were called off their jobs at seven houses which he is en- gaged in erecting. The walking delegates of the District Council claim that he forced a 2% er cent reduction per hour below the scale. nless‘*t he ys the regular rate, the minimum of which is 40 cents per hour, all the other tradesmen in his employ affiliated with the American Federation of Labor through the local Tfades and Labor Union will be called offof his work, The carpen- ters expect to Dring him to time to-day.

But Juror Herman EZillenbach Insisted That the State Should Supply His Medicines and the Deputy sheriff Would Not Have It That Way—The Defendants Hope to Prove Alibis— The Testimony. The Criminal Court was crowded this morning before 10 o’clock, the interest in the Brown murder trial increasing. Judge Edmunds entered court about 10:08. The prisoners were broughtin and seemed very unconcerned. McConnell’s mother and father occupied seats just back of the prisoner’s dock, and when McConnell was brought in his mother, who is quite a young and very fine looking woman, asked him how he felt. Oh, very well,“ replied the prisoner. Well, we will try to have you home to dinner to-morrow,’’ replied his father, who all through the trial has sat directly back of the prisoners. Kaiser’s mother and sister occupied seats inside the rail, back of Mr. and Mrs. McUon- nell. Kaiser’s mother is a lame woman, past middie age. Both herself and her daughter’s eyes were red fromcrying and both looked worn out. Henze’s sister, mother and brother watched every move that Lawyers McDonald and Zachritz made and seemed to think that the prosecuting lawyers were re- sponsible for all their trouble. The brothers of the murdered stoekman oc- cupied seats near the lawyers for the prose- cution and signified their convictions by the glances cast atithe prisoners. THE CASE LAID OVER. Just as the Court announced that it was reaay to proceed with the trial one of the jurors, Herman Ellenbach, told the Oourt that he was sick. The juror had been com- plaining all morning that he was sick and com plained to the deputy sheriff that it was caused by being fed on vegetables not yet ripe. The jary was excused for a few min- utes and Dr. Priest sent for. After an ex- amination Dr. Priest gave it as his opinion that the juror was too nervous to listen to the testimony; and by consent of both sides the case was continued until Monday. Ellen- bach asked the Sheriff this morning to pro- cure him some medicine worth l0 cents. The Sheriff waited a few minutes and asked for the 10 cents. The juror refused to give it, saying thatthe State should paythe dime. The jury and deputy then got into a deadlock over a question of principle, and the result is that for 10 cents the case lays ovar. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON’S TESTIMONY. The testimony for the State at yesterday afternoon/s session of court was mainly cor- roborative of the testimony given in the morning and the day previous. Fannie Adams, the keeper ofan immoral resort, tes~ tified to hearing one of the inmates of the house say that Henze had told Essie Davis that he had killed Brown for the $200 and not forthewatch. Judge Krum objected to this as hearsay evidence and it was ruled out. This testimony, however, with other show- ing how the Boghines woman ide Ried the men, may be admitted in rebuttal of the testimon to be offered by the State. The testimony of Detective Gocking and others was ruled out on the grounds of hear. say evidence. The State then rested its case. The defense 8 the plan ot proving an alibi for each of the prisoners. enze’s case was taken up first. An inmate of a house on Elm street swore thatshe was out riding with Henze from 8o’clock to9:30 and that he left her and went to Rothchild’s saloon. 8 The bar-keeper testifled that he was there at 9:80 or thereabouts and again at 9:7. George Dasu man of Hotson-Fitts fame was ut on dy the defense and stated he was on the car which was passing by Niedringhaus’ place; he saw Brown stag- ering and saw no one near him, see the colored woman. He heard the dead man say, They struck me with brass knuckles. Dashman was put on thestand to show that Ann Boghines was not there. His testimony as regards what Brown said was corroborative of what the Boghines woman says he said, The court then ad- journed until to-day at 10 o’clock. The defense expect to prove that McCon- nell and Kaiser were at Club saloon, corner Easton avenue and Fran- for the night.
