Paris. Jan. 18. S:30 P U. VT
Maubourguet, the charge d'affaires of
Venoiuela here, this afternoon re
ceived the official announcement of
hla expulsion from French territory.
The notification was conveyed to him
by M. Oouvef, the chief secretary of
Premier Rouvler, and a special com
mlssary of police. M. Hehnlon. The
charge d'affaires Bhowed consider
able emotion, but accepted' the gov.
ernmeat's decision.
He will leave Paris from the north
ern railroad station at 10 o'clock to
night for Liege, Belgium, accom
panied by the special commissary of
police, who is responsible for his se
curity to the frontier. ' - .
The action of the French govern
ment with reference to Veneiuela
has not yet been finally decided. '
M. Rouvier is calling the cabinet
council together to consider the steps
to be taken .' In ministerial circles
it Is believed that the Incident of M
Talgny'B expulsion loses some ot Its
character of gravity, as offiolal notifl
cation was given to President Castro
few days before by the American
minister, Mr. Russell, that diplo
matic relations between France and
Venezuela had ceased to exist.
Therefore, M. Taigny was not : ex
pelled ; as ( the representative of
France, but as a simple French citi
zen. . Mean while a - telegram from

CoL J. C. L. Harris, v. couneel Pre
Clark, reminded the court that ths ver

blame in the killing of Charlea Smith.
"Thla, though." aald Colonel Harris,
"does not excuse him tor having a nts
tot. It simply cxiuaeo him for making
use of the pletol. even in the crowded
waiting room at ilia depot, for the Jury
holda that no acted In self-defence.
Clark, 'too, even In tho excitement of
the time, showed consideration for
others In that he tired his second Hhot

"This Is a pretty bad cane, Colonel,

IS A bad case and 1 -will have to deal
heavily with your man. The maximum
Is two years for carrying a pistol and
I shall give Clark eighteen months on

Cluik Appears Unmoved.
Clark seemed to acjept the sentence

change. He a tall bronze fellow, ap
parently 25 or 26 vears old,, with black
hair and eyes arid high cheek bones

that he has Indian blood. He has not
been visiting fairs in thU section be

but it 19 said that he has lived tn New

New York Is his headquarters. There
he erd hlsimain witness 'Arnold, knew
each other and are said to bo. members
of what Is called the-.Paul Kellv Soci

Whether .they managed to 'convince, the
State of their side or whether they Im.

can be that Lllllston Is not guilty. The
three men, Lllllston, Clark, -and ' Arnold,-

precludtiS the theory that Lilllstim Is

there if no extenuation, except possibly

Dallas, Tex., Jan. 18. J. H. Con
nell, a member of the executive com-
Southern Cotton Association, declares
In an Interview that the recent con
vention of the association at New
Orleans was" "altogether Irregular
and improper."
"The call," he continued, "was so
couched that only, those persons be
lieving In a fifteen-cent minimum for
cotton could well attend, and the
whole affair was fixed and greased
for a passage of the resolution -de
claring to that end. We regard it as
peculiarly unfortunate that such an
action should be taken at this time,
for should we now have fifteen-cent
cotton when the staple is all soldr It
will mean the ruin of the market for
next season.
' "'The choosing of the officers,
though most of them are re-elections,
was not regularly conducted.
The fifteen-cent move- le a very un
fortunate one at this time."
