TRAGEDY NEAR HUTTO.
Albert Hysmith Surrendered for the
killing of ThOs. A. Evans.


Georgetown, Tex. Nov. 22.-(Special.)
John Hysmith, who shot Thos. A
Evans near Hutto yesterday, was brought
to the county Jail last night by Consta.
Bile Hardis of Round Rock, to whom he
surrendered soon after the shooting. AL
bert Hysmith, father of John, was ar
rested here an hour ago, charged with
being a particeps, and is also behind the

Evans died at o'clock this afternoon.
Officers left here early this morning to
investigate the matter and if possible
get statement from the dying man.
1t is not known here whether they
reached his bedside in time or not.
The trouble occurred in the public road
in front of Albert Hysmith's house.
John Hysmth alleges that Evans, was
advancing on him with an open knife
when he fired the fatal shot. There
were two or three witnesses to the shoot
ing. The tragedy is the result of an old
feud growing out of slanderous reports
alleged to have been circulated by Evans
son about Hysmith's sister. Both fami-
lies are well known in the county, and
Mr.. Evans and Mr. Hysmith. Sr., have
many personal friends in Georgetown.
John Hysmith, who did the killing, is
about 20 years old. Albert Hysmith and
the dead man married sisters.
Evans leaves Il large family-fourteen
children, only three of whom are grown.

Victory for the State Commissioners.
Though His Methods Denounced.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 22.-In the United
States circuit court today Webb McNall,
state insurance commissioner, won tech
nical victory in the decision made by the
United States circuit court wherein
Judge Foster refused to allow the injunc-
ton from the United States Travellers In
surance company of Hartford, Conn.,,
asking that the commissioner be restrain
ed from examining the company's books
Judge Foster. however, is severe in con-
demning the action of certain examina-
tions already made, which, the court
says, were superficial in character and
charges for the same were eXtOrtiOnate,
as shown by the evidence in this case.
"The conduct of some of these exam
nations" says the court, have been so
indefensible and repugnant in the mind
of every right thinking man that it is
difficult to give the insurance commits
sioner credit for an honest purpose in his
proposed examinations"
The court goes on to say that the same
must be applied, however, on the pre-
sumption that honest men will make these
examinations from honest motives. The
court also says that there is some reason
to suspect that the proposed eXamination
is based on the presumption of good faltn
as the company has listed certain rea

real value, and, Furthermore, that the
statements of the company do not SHOW

New Peace Treaty Talk,

Washington, Nov. 22.-It is stated from
at authoritative source that no recent
negotiations have occurred between Sec
rctary Sherman and Sir. Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, concerning
q new arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, that
no exchange of notes has occurred be-
tween Mr.. Sherman and Lord Salisbury
on this subject and that Sir Julian has
not spoken of the matter since he re-
from London. These explicit statements
were called out by detailed reports re-
certify published, one of them being sent
from Washington to London newspaper
to the effect that negotiations on the
new treaty had progressed to the final
version of the former Olney- -Pauncefote
treaty and that it was so far along that
it would be submitted to the senate soon
after it assembled.

SILVER SHELTERS.
A Meeting in New York; to Reach
an Organization.


New York, Nov. 22.-A conference
was held in this city today between rep
resentatives of the largest silver smell.
ing and refining works in the United
States. The conference will be con.
tinued throughout the week. One OF
those present at the conference today
said:
1--WE are meeting simply for the p,lr.
pose of creating greater harmony, and
union among the smelters and retiners:
1t is true that we are looking toward
consolidation, but not consolida-
ton in the sense of n silver
trust. What we want to do is to es-
tablsh the smelling and refining cont
panies into joint agencies that the pre-
pared metal may have reader sale. Our
idea is to have committee in which
each company will be represented, which
shall indicate where each amount of
stock shall be placed. Each company
being of equal standing with the others
and having equal authority, there will
be no such severe competition as has
been I'm our former experience
The following companies were repre-
sented at today's conference: Omaha
and Grant Smelling and Refining com
pany, Kansas City Consolidated Smelt:.
ing and Refining company; Chicago and
Aurora Smelling and Refining company;
Pueblo Smelling and Refining company;

AMERICAN CONCESSION.
A Liberal Offer in Behalf of n Seal
ing Adjustment.


Washington, Nov. 22.-One of the most
important features of the Bering sea ne
yOtiations, and one not heretofore dis
closed, is that in the event that Great
Britain and Canada consent to a suspen-
sion of pelagic sealing for one. year, the
United States, at the same time, will
agree to suspension of all killing of
seals for one year on the Pribilof islands,
constituting the American seal possess
sions in Bering sea. AS the islands are
a part of United States territory, no ques-
ton has ever arisen as to the right OF the
United States to do as it chose to the
seal while on land and within three miles
of the shores, the three miles being part
If the island according to international
law. During the recent negotlatlOns the
Canadians took the ground that # any
suspension was to occur it would be IN
equitable to ask them to suspend sealing
in the outer waters while at the same
time the United States persisted IN seal
ing in the inner waters and on land. Inc
contention of the United States was
primarily for the suspension OF pelaSic
sealing, but under the. eXigency OF tne
case it was felt that if suspension OF
pelagic sealing could be secured u Woulu
be reasonable to concede a similar sus-
nepsion within our own territory.
The lease was made in 1890 for term
of twenty wv years. Under this lease the
company has taken about 10000 seals an
nuaily on the island. The IL eon lease ,1 st1Pm, a

TAKES ON POLITICS.
American Railway League Changes
It's Name and Enlarges Its Scope.

It's Name and Enlarges It's Scope.
Chicago. Nov. 22.-By changing its
name and declaring new principles today
the American Railway league has be-
come full-fedged political organization.
Hereafter it will be known as the Rail-
way Employees and Telegraphers' Polit-
icai League of America. Its proclaimed
object is to deal entirely in state and
national politics. chiefly in legislative
lines. Behind this, however, is the de-
sire and the determination to secure rec
ognition. This is shown in the fact that
movement is on foot to secure the ap.
pointment by President Mckinley of n
railroad man on the interstate commerce
commission. Two hundred delegates
were present. representing Indiana. Hi
nois, Iowa, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.
The reason given for taking a new
name was to divest the organization Of
every similarity to the defunct American
Railway union. Members explained that
they were constantly hampered in their
work by meeting people who confound
the two orders. 1t is proposed to work
for the election of railway men to the
legislatures of the several states where
they can secure the passage of laws that
will he beneficial both to the employees
and the railroads.

Creek Council Extra Session.

Muskogee. 1. T., Nov. 22.-An extra
session of the Creek council convened at
Okmuigee, l. r., today. They will con-
slider the advisable of consolidating the
five civilized tribes of the Indian Terri
tory, preparatory to coming into the
Union as state. in the hope that con-
gress, seeing their intention, will not
pass any sweeping legislation at its com.
ing session regarding the abolition of
their tribal governments.
There is considerable talk of an at
tempt being made at the present session
of the council to impeach Chief lshparhe-
cher and reinstate ex-Treasurer II. b.
Childress, who was suspended on account
of an alleged shortage of over $4,000, but
it is almost certain that neither of these
attempts will be successful.
