Note what the Bee of Tuesday evening
says Of the Georgia Ministries:
"Oue OF the best minstrel entertainments
seen in Sacramento for many a day was
given at the Metropo Titan theatFr last
night BY Richards & Pringle's Georgia
Ministries The company 10 large one,
and tho PROJECTORS have not wasted their
wealth in buying gaudy trhppings TO dec
crate the stage, but they have, instead,
EMPLOYED some very Clever people. They
give very clever minstrel performance,
more like the old-tme shows than the
variety stage entertainments we are ac-
customed TO seeing from most the modern
companies. Billy h-rsands, the man
with a mouth like the 3 Z Bend tunnel, is
the chiaf comedian, and n very witty one
he is too. He creates laughter every time
he speaks But BLY, best efforts are bis

uator has remarkably good coutrallo

Representative Holman predicts that
within fifty. years land perhaps within
twenty-five the tendency will be to-
ward a commercial union which shall
embrace the whole American cont
nent. Mr.. Holman is a better. Pan
American than the Pan-Americans
themselves, because his horoscope
takes in Canada. One pertinent criti-
cism to be made upon his prognostica
ton is that he dips too deeply into the
future. Reciprocity, which even the

Though in a hating and restricted
fashion) was one Indication of the ex-
istence Of such a tendency. A larger
indication was the recent pronounce
ment Of the American people for the
removal Of all commercial barriers;
while in Canada the sentiment for a
still closer union than that of mere
traffic is manifestly growing. a zoll-
yerein might not be the perfect destiny

DECLINES
To Fight a Duel With NJ
Andrieux,
The French Premier Balks the Scheme
to Draw Him Into One.
Andricux- Gains Admiration by His Bold
ness and Success, But No Doubt the
4 Govcrnment Will Order Ills Arrest
NM on . Charge OF Treason.

PANS Dec. So The effort of M. An
drieux to- draw Premier Ribot into a
duel has failed, and it is not considered
likely that And rieux will resort to
violence as was at first intimated.
There is no Disgusting the fact that N.
Andrieux has gained much admiration
by the boldness and success Of his
course There Is no doubt that the
government intended toord6f> bis arrest
on the charge Of treason. the arrest to
be effected suddenly. Rnd to strike ter
ror into the plotters for the overthrow
of the administration.
M. Andrieux checkmated that scheme
by boldly proclaiming the governments
intentions, and the purpose, as he
claimed to silence him in...the- task Of
exposing the Panama frauds by com
hitting Him 70 dungeon. He also pro-
claimed that he had made sure Of secur-
ity of the evidence In his possession, or
under hisNcontrol, so that the purpose of
the government would be defeated.
This, it is reported. made the ministry
hesitate In their purpose Of arresting
NJ. Andrieux without having clear and
unanswerabIe evidence to establish q
case against him. The ministry feared
that the public would interpret a hasty
arrest, without positive evidence to sus-
tain it, as proof that the statements Of
NJ. Andrieux as to the motives 81 the
govern ent were true, and this would
mean the ruin OF the cabinet
When NJ Andrieux arose on Monday
morning, still at liberty, and without
the threatened order having been exc
cuted, he determined on still boldeI
move, and that was to give NJ. Ribot the
choice between duel Or retraction Of
the words in which he had accused NJ.
Andrieux Of endeavoring to excite disor-
der, and virtually Of being an insti-
gator Of instruction. Andrieux sent
.s-se--echallenge to NJ Ribot on
the ground stated. The premier
replied, through his secretary.
that the utterances Of M Ribot had not
gone beyond legitimate public criti-
cism Andrieux, not satisfied with this
reply, sent two friends to the premier
to demand satisfaction. The friends
represented that NJ. Andrienx consid-
cred NJ. Ribots words as implying that
he lAndrieux) was guilty of criminal
and ignoble act, and was seeking, In an
