THIRTEEN CONVICTIONS.
Five More of the st. Louis BOOdleFs
Convicted, Making Thirteen In
AII-Five-Year Sentences.

St. Louis, Dec. 2O.-After a hard
fought legal battle lasting five days,
special jury in Judge Ryan's court
found Charles j. Denny, Charles Gut
Ike, John A. Sheridan, Edmund Bersch
and T. Ed. Albright guilty of bribery
and fixed their punishment at hVe
wears each in the penitentiary.
The specific charge on which the de-
PENDANTS were jointly tried was that
thew. as members of the combine in
the house of delegates, in the session
of 1s99-19O1, had agreed to secure the
passage of franchise desired by the
St, Louis G. Suburban Railroad Co. IN
consideration of the sum of $4,000
The verdict of guilty was no sur
prise either to the defendants, their
attorneys or those who had closely
followed the evidence. The punish
ment assessed, however, was dis"
tinct and unpleasant surprise to the
five defendants, who had anticipated
a three-year sentence as the maxi
mum.
1t is a popularity of all of these
trials that the defense Is fought mol
on the question of guilt or innocence
but upon technicaHties.

BLOCKADE PROCLAIMED.
Official Proclamation of the Block
ade of Venezuelan Ports
Gazetted in London.
THE FULL TEXT OF THE PROCLAMATION
The Allied Powers Pay a COmDN-
ment to President Roosevelt by
Suggesting that He Assume the
Role of Arbitrator in Settling the
Pending Issues.

London, Dec. 20.-The official proc
lamation of the blockade of Venezue-
Ian ports was gazetted Saturday morn
ing and becomes effective immediate
ly.
The text of the proclamation is as
follows:
"Foreign Office, Dec. 20, 19O2.-It is
hereby notified that as the United
States of Venezuela have failed to
comply with the demands of his maj
esty's government, a blockade by his
majesty's naval forces of the ports OF
La Guayra, Carenero, Guanta, Gu
mana and Carupano and the mouths
of the Orinoco is declared and such
blockade will be effectively main
tanned from and after the goth OF De-
cember, subject to the allowance of
the following days of grace:
"For vessels sailing before the date
of this notification from West Indian
ports and ports on the east coast OF
the continent of America--ten days
for steamers and twenty days for sail
ing vessels.
"From all other ports twenty days
for steamers and forty days for sail
ing vessels.
'For vessels lying in the ports now
declared to be blockaded-ffteen
days.
"Vessels which attempt the block
ade will render themselves liable tc
all measures authorized by the law Of
nations and by the respective treaties
between his majesty and the ditferen'
neutral powers"
The German government also pub
lished a decree embodying the con
ditions of the blockade of Germany
portion of the Venezuelan coast.

der. This, also, was commonly the prae
tice as to "cornfeld niggers" and un'
skilled laborers generally, OF both sexes.
There were pathetic scenes now ana
then when negroes were sold at public aue-
tion on New Years day. Very rarely II
CHANGED that at such times members OF
the same family were sold to masters
widely separated.
1t should appeal to the common sense
of any man that slaves being valuable
holdings, their owners would neither treat
them cruelty nor permit them to be abused
by others. Owners of valuable horses uni
formly are kind to them, and horses are
not human.
In this Southern New Years day, too,
men met to settle long due debts, to pay
notes and to rent farm lands. Taken al
together, it was a busy, busy day, full
of its comedies as well as III dramas, and,
sometimes, tragedies. ,
At such times the sla5es y the planta.
tiohs enjoyed their aRnua ftwo weeks
vacation and these cra rued the villages
to buy all manner of gimcracks--cheap
iewelry, ribbons and laces, and, having
sweet tooth, cheap candies as well. Any
well-ordered slave could make overtime
money, and it was very sorry one, in
deed, who had not few dollars at the
| New Year, to throw away in folly upon a
wife or a sweetheart.
The white trash" gathered then solely
with view to looking on and to picking
up what they could. As they were de
spised by both the well-to-do whites ant
the negroes of all degrees, they usually
kept to themselves. They neither hireC
nor were hired, but in some manner con
trived to secure their full share o
whisky.
Like the old general muster" day o
the ante.bellum days, the 'afo' de wah'
New Year has passed away with all it
scenes and shiftings, yet the memory o
it remains with the older residents as re
minder that one day at least, and that tn
initial one, of the Southland, was one o
potential energy and signally characters
tic in its incidents of the age and times.

FRANCE IS COMPLACENT.
Seems TO BE Satisfied with the Way
Things are Shaping.

Paris, Dec. 2O.-A cable message
from Ft. De France, Martinique, an
nounces that the French cruiser Le-
roude, which was assigned, few days
ago, to protect French citizens in
Venezuela, will now remain outside
Venezuelan waters, as all anxiety re-
garding the safety of French citizens
has been dispelled.
The foreign Office here has received
from the charge d'affaires at Caracas
confirmation of the announcements
that President Castro had conferred
complete powers on Minister Bowen
to arrange the terms for arbitration.
The dispatch adds that the president
expressed confident belief that the ex-
ercise by the United States of the
powers granted to Minister Bowen
undoubtedly will secure an ADJUST
ment of the questions in dispute.
Informal exchanges of views be-
tween the chancelleries of Rome, Lon
don and Paris indicate the willing
ness of the British, Italian and French
governments to agree to the creation
of a mixed commission as means o.
adjusting the difficulties.

New York, Dec. 20-Three women
were perhaps fatally injured and 81
other passengers were bruised and
badly shaken up in trolley car accl-
dent in Weehawken at midnight. The
victims, mostly women, were cut and
bruised, but not seriously injured.
The accident occurred at a point
where the trolley companies tracks
cross those of the Erie railroad. When
the trolley car reached the tracks the
motorman stopped his car to allow
a freight train to pass.
The train consisted of nine cars and
was moving along rapidly. The last
three cars of the freight train broke
loose some distance east OF the cross
ing, and were not noticed by the train
crew. After the six cars had passed
by the motorman of the trolley car
thought it was the last of the train
and started to cross the tracks. when
he got his car in the middle OF the
crossing the three freight cars which
had broken loose from the train came
rolling along, and before he could get
his car over the crossing 1t was
struck with terrific force by the
freight cars. $3.50,
The trolly car was completely
turned over and the passengers
thrown through the window uE
against the doors and on top OF one
another. They were struck in the
face with broken timbers, glass ano
everything else movable.
Ambulances and physicians were
summoned, and crowd which nae
collected about the scene started te
extricate those who were caught II
the wreck. The three most seriously
hurt were taken out unconscious ane
the physicians directed their efforts
toward reyiving them. A member o
each of the injured women's famlhe
arrived, and refused to allow them u
be taken to the hospital and the!
were removed in the ambuIances u
their homes. What caused the tran
to become uncoupled is not known
The trolley car was compleVei'
wrecked. Traffic was blocked both o.
the railroad and trolley lines for ne@r
ly two hours.

frequently in a free for all fight in which
fists only were used and after which no
arrests were made. In those New year
days the "rumshops," as they were Called
did land office business. Whisky was
plentiful and cheap, and the preIudlce
against drunkenness was by no means SO
general then as now.
The focal point of interest, however,
was the hiring out of negroes for the en-
suing year. Now and then negroes were
offered for public sale, but that practice
was not so common then as in the earlier
part of the century.
Planters neither hired out their slaves,
nor did they employ those of other peo'
ple. But those belonging to minor chill
dren and widows, as well as many who
were "chattels" Of residents of the towns
and villages were commonly "hired out,
especially if they had been taught trades
or were good cooks or house servants
Many town residents possessed slaves be
yond their home needs, and these were
"hired out" to Others who might require
! their services.
The contract lasted for the calendar
wear only. 1t must be renewed annually
il desired by the contracting parties.
Much misconception obtains as to tn,
disagreeableness and shame of this prac
tice. Masters had a direct peeuniary In
terest in their slaves, and it was to thei
interest to see to it that these secured
humane employers. As far as it was pos
sibla, each slave was permitted to choos
the person for whom he would work
Some. there were who remained with tn

years.
Those that we're good servants had n
difficulty in choosing desirable employers
