time. The Cherokee constitution forbids
the sale of any lands belonging to the Ma
ton and no amendment to the constitution
can be made until the election in August,
1891. He and his executive council, how
ever, he will say, will bring the proposition
of the United States before the next coun-
ell where it will be given due consideration
He will further ask the commissioners to
make their proposition more specific that
there may be no, misunderstanding of its
tenor by the next council. Chief Mays
political opponents are in favor of immedi-
ate negotiations, although they were not
favorable to the sale of the strips. Mays,
however, is emboldened by his triumph in
the last election and will stubbornly refuse
to listen to any suggestions antagonistic to
his policy The commission will make ar
rangements to visit other tribes. The
Cheyennes and Apaches will probably be
first visited. They show a disposition to
sell that part of their land known as the
leased district. The commission, however,
is without jurisdiction in the absence of a
quorum in the absence of Gen. Hartranft
who has gone to Europe for his health
The other two commissioners, however will
proceed with their duties and if not able to
offer negotiations will secure expressions
of opinions and examine into the treaties
of the various tribes.

FRANCE.

DECLARING BoULANGER INELIGIBLE.
PARIS, August 13.-The state council has
annulled the election in twelve cantons in
which Gen. Boulanger was elected to the
council on the ground that the general was
not eligible for the position. Gen. Boulan-
ger has written letter in which he states
he gave the sums of money which he is ae-
cused of embezzling, to the chief clerk in
the war office to be used for the relief of the
widows and orphans OF soldiers. Five
dodgers in the house of Madame Pourpres,
the former mistress of Gen. Boulanger, have
sworn the general was in Paris, July Is,
1887, the day on which it is alleged he
visited the city in disguise.
Upon the opening of the senate court
to-day members of the right declined to
take further part in the proceedings in the
case of Gen. Boulanger The court dis
cussed at length its course of procedure
and its competency to try Gen. Boulanger.
1t was finally decided by vote of 201 to 20
that the court was competent to try the
general on all counts of the indictment.
Two of the senators refrained from voting.
The court then by 206 votes found the gen
eral guilty of conspiracy Six of the sena-
tors did not vote. The court then found
Dillond NJ. Rockford guilty of completely
in the plot. 1t also decided by a vote of
1913 to 108 that Boulanger was guilty of a
reasonable attempt against the state in
connection with the Lyons depot incident.
FOUND GUILTY.
PARIS, August 13.--The senate court this
afternoon found Gen. Boulanger guilty of
conspiracy.

CALHoUN-wILLIAMsoN DUEL.
A Dramatic Incident that Occurred on the
Battle Ground.

ATLANTA Ga, August 13.--The scene
along the Rome and Decatur road was an
exciting one. Messrs Calhoun and Will
hanson, the duelists, were twice chased
from the ground chosen, by officers. 1t was
fully dark when they pitched upon spot
just 200 yards from the Georgia line in Ala
bama. Capt. Jackson placed Mr. Calhoun
with his back almost squarely against the
heavily clouded moon, and Mr.. King
placed Mr. Williamson in front of sapling.
The weapons used were Smith d Wesson's
42-calibre, hammerless, and with safety at
tachment. The word was given. In rapid
succession six shots rang out. One came
from Calhouns pistol and five from Will
iamson's. Then Calhoun, with four charges
left, aimed at Williamson, telling him he
had his life in his hands and calling on
him to rctract Williamson declined TO do
so unless Calhoun disavowed personal ne
Elections.
During the duel a most dramatic incident
occurred. 1t was when Capt Jackson
found it necessary TO present his pistol and
threaten to shoot either Mr.. King or Mr..
Williamson If they moved. Capt. Jackson
stood half way between the two duelists
when he held his pistol, and the tableau
was extremely thrilling. After the two
gentlemen had shaken hands Capt. jack
son threw his arms around Mr.. Calhoun
and kissed him.

LITTLE VENEZUELA.
Evincing Great Interest in the Coming Con
gress Of the Three Americas.

CARACAS, VENEZUELA, August 13-Great
interest is evinced in all parts of Venezuela
at the deliberations of the South American
section of the Spanish-American Congress
to meet in Washington early in October
next. The most sanguine of those interest
ed in commercial affairs predict a complete
revolution in the antiquated system of con-
Quoting import and export business the
abrogatiOn of arbitrary and antiquated
Custom House laws and a general increase
in trade with the United States. which is
now practically "blocked' by vexatious
and prohibitive legislation.
There are many important measures
which the Spanish Congress can
consider apart from political matters. One
of these, and which is of vital interest to
the future well being of Spanish-America
is the adoption of equal formalities and
wording in the various Custom House pa
pers and documents, manifests. bills of lad
ing, invoices, etc.; uniformity in weights
and measures for descriptive purposes in
such papers. and the general adoption of
the decimal system as applied to said pa
pers and forms. The adoption of such
system would more than double the ex-
port and import trade and would be
greater benefit than mysteriously worded
treaties of reciprocity.n

A COLOSSAL COMBINE.
The Sugar Trust Wants the Earth and All
the Sweetness Thereof.

SAN Francisco, August 13.-Reports are
in circulation here that the sugar trust has
about completed negotiations with an En-
glish-German syndicate to get the sugar
markets of the world under one supreme
control. The plan contemplates bonding
for short term all the principal planta-
tons of Cuba, the Philippine islands, Java
and Mauritius, which ould place the main
sources of the raw supply under the con-
troll of the syndicate.
The surplus stocks of unrefned beet su-
gars of Germany and France are to be accu-
mulated in store for shipment to America
at the proper time. The supply raw cane
sugar will be curtailed by at least three
fifths. All surplus unrefined beet sugar
will be shipped to America. This would
create a deficiency in Germany, France and
England, while the American supply would
still be short. 1t is estimated that the su-
gar trust and the Anglo-German partners
would at least pay 25 per cent upon capi-
tai of 500, 100000, which, according to the
rumor, will be necessary to accomplish this
gigantic scheme.
1t has been shown, however, that there is
an actual accumulation i'll the treasury of
the sugar trust OF one-fourth that amount,
and few turns of the trust screw will soon
squeeze five or six millions additional from
the people. With such an available cash
basis it would be easy work for the trust to
manage the scheme
A gentleman well informed on the sub
ject said to-day: "The direct connection
of the American sugar trust and the Madge-
burg German syndicate or trust has been so
closely traced as to leave no doubt of it in
the mind of any intelligent person. The
work of concentrating the visible supply of
beet sugar in Germany is well in hand, for
the Madgeburg syndicate recently had S0,-
100000 pounds ready for shipment to
America.

THE BAPTISTS.
Interesting Meeting Of the Perdenales AssO-

Snpcial to the Statesman.

Interesting Meeting of the Perdenales Asso-
citation at Blanco-The Proceedings.
Special to the Statesman.
BLANco, August 13.-The Perdenales Bap-
tist association that has been in session
here since last Friday adjourned yesterday
evening. About sixty preachers and dele
gates were present, and the entire session
was harmonious. Among the visitors pres
ent were Prof. Milton Park and Rev. A. S.
Bunting, of Kyle, and Prof. Jordan of
Iockhart. On Saturday night Rev. Mr.
Bunting delivered an able sermon to q
large congregation. On Sunday at IL
o'clock the court house, which they had
been forced to use ON account of the crowd,
was filled to overfiowing, every one being
anxious to hear Prof. Jordan who preached
Sunday morning and again Sunday night.
A large crowd assembled to hear him at
night At o'clock Sunday evening ad-
dresses were heard from different members
of the association on the subject of foreign
missions, after which collection was taken
up for missions and about 500 was raised.
During the session of the association some
thing near $500 was raised for missions and
other causes. The success of the collections
is due very largely to Rev. A. S. Bunting,
who is considered mighty man" in TAX
ing up collections as well as preaching.
All visitors are leaving for their homes
to-day, all speaking in the highest terms of
the people Of Blanco for the hospitality and
kindness shown them while here.
Mr.. A. +. Schuchard. surveyor of Gill
lespie county, came down yesterday to
survey disputed line over which suit is
now pending in the district court.
We hear that Mr.. Christian Busch, who
was shot in the head short time ago by H.
Bender, is improving, and hopes are now
entertained of his recovery.
A game of base ball was to have been
played last Saturday between the Blanco
and Round Mountain clubs, but owing to
the rain the Round Mountain boys failed
to put in an appearance.
Messrs. Phil P. Cage and H. w. Speer
have gone to Galveston on business trip;
Sheriff Cox is now summOning the grand
and petit iuries for the next term OF district
court, which meets September 6.
Messrs. Felix Stubs and Jas. w. kel-
lam left yesterday for Austin on cattle
business. c.,,a.,
Several nice showers of rain have fallen
here during the last two or three days
which will be of some benefit to cotton.

Death at Beeville.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
BEEvILLE, August BIT is with sad
heart we are called upon to chronicle the
death of our esteemed and beloved country
man, John s. Hodges, who died at the res
idence of his son-in-law, Mr.. Will Smith,
of this place, August H. 1889, at p. M,
leaving wife and five children to mourn
his loss.
He was born August %, 1884, in Franklin
county, Alabama. He has been a resident
of this state from his early boyhood. In
him we found kind and true friend, and
one who was loved by all who knew him.
He was kind hearted, conservative and
firm, yet in all his acts and firmness there
was always mingled liberality which only
emenated from kind and loving heart. In
his family he was loving, kind and gener-
Gus. A harsh, unkind or profane word
never passed his lips. Intoxicants of any
kind he never used, and he firmly believed
in God which makes easier bearable the
grief of the family, and he has thus set an
example that all should follow.
