yielding somewhat to more pacific views.
LONDON, April 17.-Parliament sepa-

vIction that the emergency is not
greater than il was weeks ago. The
news from various centres OF interest is
not resssuring.
A St. Petersburg correspondent tele-
graphs: The situation is unsltered. The
conciliatory action of Germany continues
but so far without result. The difference
in regard to submitting the whole treaty
is declared TO offer an insupersble obsta-

The real aim of the plenipotentsrles

We care little about the way OF getting

If this course be adopted it would show
thst Russia had agreed with the other

MAYORS CouRT.- Monday
= The metropolitans in their
rounds on Sunday morning
found a couple of small roos-
tiers. aged about Ia or IS
years, one white and the
other black. engaged in a rough
and tumble fight. They were
taken in and upon their appear
ance before the court they were
fined 81 each, the officers re-
hitting their costs. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that the
ROSTERS were badly "skeered."
Geo. Lands, colored, was ar
rested on Saturday night on the
charge Of being drunk and dis
orderly and "cussing" on the
streets. He being valuable as
a radical worker was bailed out
and put to electioneering. Be-
ing otherwise engaged on Mon
day he failed to appear, one of
his bondsmen came forward and
asked 4 continuance until after
the agony" is over. Contin-
uance granted.
H. Kramer. using offensive
language, continued until after
the election.

The ELECTION Notwith-
standing there was a large crowd
in town all day the election pas
sed off very quietly; so far as we
were able to learn there was
not even SO much as a fight.
The police did not make any ar
rests until about shutdown when
a couple of gentlemen from the
country were captured for fast
riding or something of that sort.
A great many bets were made
during the day, each man bet
ting on his favorite. Never be-
fore was SO many split or mixed
tickets voted; a great many men
to show that they were indie
pendent scratched their tickets
to show it and APPARENTLY for no
other purpose.

ne Minstreis.

Last night the Opera House
was crowded downstairs with a
fashionable audience, while the
gallery was crammed almost to
overfowing, The occasion OF
this vast assemblage was the
appearance of Barlow, Wilson,
Primrose & Vests minstrel
troupe. Public expectation had
been aroused to the highest
pitch by the many encomiums
passed upon this company by
the press. 1t is but just to say
that instead of being disap-
pointed. the most sanguine
were more than pleased. This
troupe is without doubt the best
on the road; they are head and
shoulders ahead of any similar
company that ever came to
Texas. Our space will not per-
NIT US to give an extended re-
view of the various features of
the evenings entertainment, but
we cannot forbear mentioning
Barlow and Wilson as end men
and Primrose and Vest as clog
dancers. Milt Barlow gave his
mmitable rem lion of old "Black
Joe," there is but one Black Zoe
in the stage and that is Barlow,
he has made this part as much
his own as ever did Hackett
Falstaff in his palminst days.
Barlow, Wilson, Primrose &
Vests Ministries was greeted by
a moderate audience at the Oper
House last night. There was an
entire change of from
the previous evenings pro-
gramme. Without going into
details it is sufficient to say that
everybody was delighted. 1t
is not at all astonishing that this
troupe draws large houses
wherever they appear. The uni
versal verdict is that Barlow,
Wilson, Primrose & Vests
Ministries are the best on the
road.

Washington has put in so
strong a claim that the Presi-
dent has decided to make pro-
longed visit there. The Worlds
correspondent assures us that
he has finished his list of ac-
ceptance on the agricultural fairs
delivered his last address and
declined heneeforth all invita-
tons which would call him from
the capital He will find it
very dry and dull, no doubt, af-
ter the excitments of his recent
nomadic life. but in time he
may come to like Washington.
There are people who prefer to

MAYORS CouRr.-Friday-A
German farmer named Meyer,
who lived near Long Point, came
town on Thursday and becom-
ing surcharged with bug juice
became obstreperous. The
metropolitans getting after him
he raced his horses furiously
through west Main street. He
was captured and given lodging
in the bastile. Being introduc-
ed to the court he plead guilty
and paid sI4 for his little bit
of fun" This is rather extrav-
agant considering the low price
of cotton,

The REsULT.- We publish
in tabular form returns of the
vote for county officers as far
as received. 1t is generally
conceded that H. o. Robertson
and Hugh Lewis are elected;
the probability is the remainder
of the county ticket is defeated.
In the Burton precincts Capt.
Phears is elected commissioner.
In this precinct McClung is
probably elected justice and
Crozier constable. In the con-
gressional race Jones will be
about 1000 or 1900 ahead.
Counting is still going on. At
II o'clock last night with about
100 votes to be counted, Hugh
Lewis had 42o and Clinton Io5.
