Dallas, Texas, July IA special to the
News from FL Paso says: Mrs. Rich was
arraigned before the Judge Of letters In
Juarez this afternoon for sort OF pre-
llminary hearing, which the law OF Mexico
dictates must take place within q hours
after the arrest OF a prisoner. She was
told that she was suspected OF the muir
der of her husband and asked IL she OBJ
jected to the judge on the bench trying
her. She promptly said she did, and as
consequence will be tried by the president
of the Chihuahua tribunal Of justice. who
arrived tonight. The chief Of police OF
Jusrez went into Mrs. Rich's cell last
night to inquire why she was weeping
and sobbing. The Judge saw him there
and suspended him four days without Pay.
The governor directed that no official but
the Judge and two witnesses be permitted
to enter her room after shutdown. The
United States has provided no lawyer for
hsr and the American consul has not Wis
tied her since sh ewas surrendered. She
was not represented by an attorney IN
court this afternoon and the only Ameri-
cans present were two reporters.

JUST MeLlNE,s KICKING
Thus Ii Explaiaea freseh OPPesition
: en- the Treaty.

London, July 27.-The Paris correspond
emit of the Times explains that the muir
murs against the Franco-Ameriean coa-
vention. at which the American press Is
unnecessarily uneasy, are solely due 20
the efforts OF II. Meline TO prevent
France from forming close commercial
relations with any foreign power. N.
Mellne's whole strength, the correspond
ent says, rests on a policy OF extreme
protection. He. is inconsoiable at being
out of ONCE and he Is ready to sacrifice
France in order to regain possession, hut
the common sense Of a majority OF the
French chamber OF deputies win frus-
trate his Vaccinations.
Paris, July A.-The Temps In an article
printed today expresses the belief that
fuller light upon the Franco-American
treaty would not be supernuous, adding:
"What Is known, however, is sugcient to
cause rejoicing at the rapproachment. Of
which it is testimony. The interests OF
the United States and France are far
from being as irreconcilable as some have
been trying to show, but are In reality
easily adjusted. The United States fur
nishes raw products and we return man
ufactures. Opponents Of the treaty think
this will be reversed and that France
will ell inundated with American manu-
factures. but the facts do not Justify
their fears"
An unofficial note published tonight
says: 1.-The evening papers have for some
days been carrying on a vigorous cam
raIgn against the granting OF q minimum
tariff to American leather. It is quite
true that d. Meline's cabinet offered
minimum rates on American leather, but
the present cabinet did not maintain the
concession in the recent convention and
American leather Is still subject to ge.;-
eral 70 tes."
The Journal Des Debats says: ''The
thousand personal relations which Iexult
from business relations are a precious
pledge for good understanding between
people, and it would indeed be a singu-
lar means of remaining friends OF a aa-
ton whose policy is becoming more end
n.Ore active and interesting, to refuse to
remove our barriers when she Is disposed
to open hers and defend ourselves
against her by Chinese wall. The con-
veation appears to be a good piece OF
business from all points OF view."

PoPULlSTS OF KENTUCKY

Bryan q Little.

Frankfort, KY, July H.-The Populist
state convention today nominated full
ticket. John G. Blair OF Nicholas county
was nominated for governor by acclama-
ton. The platform endorses Wharton
Barker of Philadelphia for president and
Ignatuis Donnelly Of Minnesota for vice
president. 1t reaffirms the former Popu-
list platform and declares in favor OF
government ownership Of all public insti-
tutions as means of stamping out
trusts, emphasizing the government own
ership OF railroads. II condemns the
Goebel state election law as an attempt
to disfranchise the voters Of the state,
and says further:
I'VE regret to see that Hon. William
]. Bryan, for whom the Populists OF
Kentucky voted for president in 1896 for
president OF the United States, by his
public endorsement of the ticket nomin-
ated at Louisville and the platform there
adopted, assumes the responsibility OF
endorsing the criminal attempts OF cor
rupt elements OF Kentucky politics to
subvert the ballot.
"In order that the Popullst party may
be preserved forever from fraud. bossism.
