SAN A HeEIo, TEX, Sept. I5.-tSpe-
rial. I'VE have had in the past two or
three weeks the finest rains and the
most favorable weather generally, for
both grass and crops that has been
seen here In number Of years, and all
are consequently in better spirits and
feel more hopeful for the future.
The crops will be far ahead Of former
years and there will be no comparison
IA tho condition Of the range. There
Ia not great deal Of trading going on
in stock, but there is better feeling
and prices arc firm, whereas before the
rains you could almost name your own
price. The country now looks as It did
Ia the good old days before the
drouth OF 'S6. There Is a great deal OF
interest being taken In the coming
meeting Of the COncho Valley fair Oct.
4 and s, inclusive The racing promises
TO he something that will be worth
seeing, as thore will be three OF the
finest half mile horses pitted against
zach other that have ever met In

kers. The San Angelo stables are
back from Denver and are now In

Bollu r., Viola Belle, Up and Down
aud several other good ones. There
Rre already over twenty racers in
training here. and applications are
coming in daily for stalls. There are
now twenty entries in the roping con-
test, and there are being selected the
widest and largest steers that can DO
found and II any one wants 10 sec
tho genuine article he can do 50 on
October 6. The rains have put tho
track in the finest possible condition,
and 1t is expected that more records
will be- broken AT this meeting.
The agricultural aud vegetable dis
play will be line, 80 will the stock ok
hibit. The management have made ar
engagements with the largest fireworks
house in the country to furnish and
take charge Of the fireworks display
and it will be something that has never
been oquiiled In Texas.
On the same night OF the fireworks
display thoy propose to have a grand
hall AT the grounds. The indications
nre that this will be tho most success
full meeting that the association has
ever had. The railroads have given
one fare for the round trip rate and
thcre Is a possibility Of a special train

P,RTs. Dec. % M. Ribot. minister of
foreign affairs, today made to the cham
Der of deputies a statement Of the re-
lations between France and Bulgaria.
The minister gave no new details of the
Chadournc incident but said the matter
was now in the hands of the porte, which
had demanded of Bulgaria an eyplana-
ton of her action in eypelling the French
journalist from the country. NJ. Mil!ev-
oye, IN commenting on the bulgarian af-
fair, expressed regret that the diplomatic
action in the matter had been trans
feared from Sofia to Constantinople. NJ.
Iibot replied that Bulgaria could not on
her own authority expcl a foreigner nor
take measures to that end without re-
ferring to the consul of the country to
which the foreigner belonged, The Bul-
garian government ought to have made
representations to France il it had
any grievances against a French
subject. The French agent at Sofia
had not failed in his duty, but had de
clared his readiness to attend to COM
munications from the Bulgarian govern.
ment and to transmit them to Paris. All
cf the circumstances justified his de-
handing that the order for the expulsion
of Chadourne be cancelled. France was
certain to obtain satisfaction and the
government would do what was neces-
sary without rashness or weakness. Ap-
piause.
M. Maillfen held the affair had been
much exaggerated. Bulgaria aimed at
freedom and her ministry had commit
ted neither atrocities or acts OF violence
NJ. Millevoye protested that NJ. Maillfen
spoke contrary to what was known to be
the truth. A scene of great confusion
ensued, order being obtained with much
difficulty. Seconds have been appointed
