WEDNESDAY. MAY 1. 1SC
Two ships of C.000 tor.B burden are
now in the stocks in Sonth Cbicigo.
It is claimed that the Maxim iin is
capable of cutting down a tree seventeen
inches in diameter in a qnarter of a
minute.
Tnr. trial of ex-State Treasurer Hill
and the sureties on his bond to recover
S23G,000 was begun in the supreme court
Monday.
Colonel Breckenp.iixse must be a
very peculiar kind of a man. He now
wants Kentucky to send him to the
United States senate, and doubtless
imagines that the world would consider
this a vindication of his character.
The Misses Dovey of Plattsmouth,
Nebr., who have met with brilliant suc
cess in London as vocalists, expect to
make a concert tour of the west, the last
of the year, thus at sixteen years of age
making their debut in grand opera.
The notorious L. F. Hilton, ex-Governor
Crounse's appointee as oil inspec
tor, is figuring to secure possession of
the Blair Courier. Presumably, he ex
pects, if successful, to ''get even" with
some men who have been letting the
public know his real character.
What if all preachers should do as the
Baptist minisister at Wichita, Kansas,
who, being unable to get his salary,
attached tho communion set, bibles,
hymn books and church furniture? Or
the Methodist minister in New York
who refuses to leave the parsonage until
his salary is paid?
President ClevklaxiVs friends sire
calling more loudly thau over for an
explanation of his phrases "sound
money" and "safe currency." They are
not going to be satisfied with mere talk.
Tho man who exhibited such financier
ing as the president did in tho recent
bond sale, ought to feel that his naked
word on financial problems will not go
very far with the American people even
those of his own party name.
How to get rid of adulterations is one
of tho most serious questions of our
times. Tho agricultural department of
the government is continuing its inves
tigations, and Prof. Wylio in one of his
late reports expresses himself as fairly
startled by the result of hio investiga
tions, and tho adulteration is of many
classes of goods. He says that much of
the "olive oil" sold at S-t a gallon is sim
ply cottonseed oil, worth 40 cents, and
samples of coifeo purchased by the de
partment have been found to be one
third artificial beans made of scorched
flour and molasses and costing about 4
cents a pound. Even green coffee beans
are imitated. Everything in spices from
cayenne pepper to cloves 13 matched in
color by what they call "fillers" made of
the ground shells of various nuts.
Tne president and his cabinet need
not imagine that they are the people
and can do as they please for all time to
come. Temporarily (and very much so
we think) they occupy positions of trust,
and their enormous and costly blunders
should induce a littlo more modesty
than they are just now exercising, espe
cially concerning the money policy of
the near future. This country is de
signed for tho use of the people who by
their genius and industry mado it pros
perous before Cleveland was elected
sheriff and entertained an ambition to
boss the whole land, and it will happen
again that we shall have a man of intel
ligence, a conscientious statesman, at
the head of affairs and the present ad
ministration will be remembered
for the many evidences it gave of Eng
lish influence working adversely to
American interests, and a playing into
the hands of tho most selfish combina
tions of greedy capitalists against the
welfare of tho common people.
CHEAP FOREIGN TRASH.
The Markets Are Flooded With the Com
monest Kind of English Good.
There is a vast amount of trash now
being imported into tho United States.
Since tho enactment of tho now tariff
this has been the case in very many lines
of goods. It would not matter so much
if all the foreign trash that is imported
bore a foreign brand, but it does not.
la many cases the cheap foreign goods
are retailed as American goods, thus
bringing discredit upon American man
ufactures generally.
In the case of foreign woolen goods,
which aro now being so heavily import
ed, there is probably more trash than in
any other line. Goods arc sold here
that have an excellent finish, almost as
good as in tho finest wcolcu goods, jet
their textile construction is practically
rotten. They are made of the commonest
kinds of shoddy and contain not a par
ticle of pure wool.
Such goods can be sold at extremely
low prices. In appearance they are ex
cellent, but for durability they are
worthless. Of course it takes a little
time for the wearer of such goods to
find this out, and when he complains to
the party who sold them he is often in
formed that he has bought American
goods and is induced to give another
order for another lot of similar stuff.
The American manufacturer cannot
afford to make such cheap goods, because
he knows that he must equal tho best
foreign makes. He is consequently
working at a disadvantage. Notwith
standing a growing disposition among
the wholesale trade to handle on ly Amer
ican goodsfiveu at a slightly higher
cost, the difference) in the price between
these foreign woolens, so called, and
honest American woolens is so great
that the trade feels unable to pay the
difference for the American goods, as
times are now when people study care
lolly the expenditure of every dollar
they own.
Of course the idea of the foreign man
ufacturers is to secure our markets.
They know that the American manu
facturers do not make any such stuff,
and that in order to meet the competi
.tion the American goods of better qual
ity must be marked down in price, which
can only be done by lowering American
wages a proposition that would prob
ably be opposed by the wage earners
perhaps closing our factories, and thus
giving the foreigners absolute control of
oar markets, which is the point they are
working for.
BRITISH IN CHAKGE.
BLUE JACKETS ARE IN CONTROL OF
AFFAIRS AT CORINTO.
Opposition Party In Nicaragua Making aa
Attempt to Overthrow the Present Ad
ministration by Force of Arms Martial
Law Has Been Proclaimed.
New York, April 29. Herald cable
from Corinto, Nicaragua, says: Taking
advantage of the uneasiness that is mani
festing itself throughout the Nicaragua
republic in consequence of England's
occupation of Corinto, the opposition
nnrrv is makintr an attempt to over
throw the present administration by
force of arms.
The government is aware of the
scheme and is adopting measures to nip
it in the bud. Martial law has been
proclaimed and recruits are being en
rolled. Business at Corinto is paralyzed.
The custom house and postoffice both I
rCZIlalU UU3CU. AMU Amcf,iu.J a. D
here hope that the government will soon
come to terms.
It is rumored that Nicaragua's action
in this affair was prompted by advice
received from Washington through
Minister Guzman.
It is said that the British counsul has
been handed his passports.
The Herald correspondent at Managua
says that reports are current there to
the effect that tho government of the
United States discredits the news of the
planting of the Euglish flag at Corinto.
The flags were hoisted on the morning
of the 27th and have remained floating
ever since.
The English appear to be pnzzled
how to'act. There is reason to believe
that they will retaliate for the closing
of the port of Corinto by blockading
San Juan del Sur, Greytowu and Blue
fields. The running of all trains is suspended
and Corinto is practically in a state of
siege. No one is allowed to bring pro
visions into the neighborhood, and sup
plies are running short.
New York, April 29. A special to
The World from Corinto, Nicaragua,
April 28, says: The town is perfectly
quiet. Tho British are organizing their
government. An officer of the cruiser
Rnval Arthur tells the correspondent
that the next two days will decide
whether they occupy more territory, in
cluding Paso de Cabellos, or withdraw
altogether as telegrams are expected
from Euglaud. The messenger who
takes this to Paso de Cabellos has two
tilegrams from General Stephenson.oue
for the British foreign ofiice, tho other
for the admiralty.
NICARAGUA URGED TO PAY UP.
Central American IJ-uibIlcs .Joined the
United State In Thit AiUice.
Washington, April :;0. The dis
patchas received from London aud
Costa Rica throws additional light ou
the attitude of the administration in re
gard to the Nicaragua incident It is
evident both the United States and the
Central American republics were anx
ious to secure a peaceful settlement of
the difficulty by the payment of the in
demnity demanded by Great Britain for
the expulsion of pro-Consul Hatch.
President Vglesias of the republic of
Costa Rica, if the cable advices are cor
rect, offered to contribute a portion of
the money, while the state department
here, through Ambassador Bayard at
London, arranged for an exteusion of
two weeks in which the money could be
raised if Nicaragua would arrauge to
settle on this basis. It is not known ex
actly what representations were made to
the state department by Nicaragua or
Nicaragua's represeutive to induce Sec
retary Gresham to cable Mr. Bayard
these instructions, but as the popular
feeling in Nicaragua was all against
yeilding, it is beleived the government
of Nicaragua concluded, out of defer
ence to it, aud possibly as a means of
its preservation, to stand out in the
hope of ultimately inducing, if possible,
active intervention of the United
States.
It is said the state department has
all along advised Nicaragua that the ex
pulsion of Hatch was an offense that no
self respecting country could overlook,
and prompt reparation was due Great
Britain. When Lampton and Wilt
bank, the citizens of the United States,
were expelled from Bluefields last July,
for alleged complicatity in the conspir
acy to defy Nicaraguau authority on
the Mosquito coast, it was said Consul
Hatch was involved, tho sentiment in
the state department took such vigorous
steps that Lampton and Wiltbank were
not only permitted to return but they
were restored to all their rights and
property aud a public ball was given in
their honor. At that time, it was be
lieved, Nicaragua would show the same
willingness to furnish redress to En
gland that she did to the United States.
But by continued delay matters were al
lowed to reach the acnto stage and
Great Britain, in accordance with tho
terms of her ultimatum, seized Corinto
to enforce the payment of the indemni
ty claimed to be due her. Much inter
est is manifested in diplomatic circles in
the situation.
Secretary Gresham drove to Woodley
Sunday afternoon and had a long con
sultation with the president. It was
thought some demand would be made,
but upon his retnrn the secretary de
clined to give out anything. The fact
the United States has been officially ad
vised of the occupation of Corinto by
the British is, however, definitely as
certained. From recent indications, all
the correspondence in the case will be
held by the state department until the
incident is closed. Tho situation in
Nicaragua, with the British 02cupying
Corinto and the port declared closed by
the Nicaragua government, presents
many possible complications. From the
best obtainable information it seems al
most certain the administration will not
attempt any interference with tho dis
pute, so long as the matter confines
itself to the collection of indemnity-
CAMPOS REACHES HAVANA.
Warm Greeting Accorded the New Captain
General of Cuba.
Havana, April 27. Captain General
Martinvz de Campos arrived here at 9:20
p. m. Immediately after his arrival be
came known Generals Arderius, Bar-
raquer, burro
and Molines,
with theiraides-de-camp,
and a
number of ofti
cers of all
grades, dele
gates from the
various political
parties and
friends of those
taking part in
the reception
went on board
steamer the Vil-
martinez de campos. lavera in order
to greet De Campos. The news of the
arrival of Captain General de Campos
spread rapidly and immense crowds of
people soon filled the stieets, and on the
principal thoroughfares the national
colors and patriotic emblems were every
where displayed. After being taken
ashore in a felucca, the captain general
'9PiF
went to the palace and immediately
afterwards began giving orders concern
ing the conduct of tho campaign against
the insurgents. He says that the rainy
season has retarded the advance of the
troops, but nevertheless the military
operations will be pushed, as the rebel
lion must b subdued promptly and ef
fectively. He expressed the belief that
this would soon be accomplished, add
ing that he relies upon the patriotic sup
port of all classes of people. I
Havana, April SO. The government
troops under General Salcedo have won
a great victory over the insurgents
forces commanded by General Maceo.
Many of the latter were killed or
wounded, and the rest were dispersed
and are seeking refuge in the moun-'
tains. In addition Garcia s bananas
been completely routed with great loss
in the killed and wounded. Nearly all
the remainder of his band surrendered.
Income Tax Case.
Washington, April 20. When the
United States supreme court on May 6
again takes up the income tax case, it
will once more go into the merits of all
the points involved and will not, as its
order made Tuesday apparently stated,
confine the arguments to the qnestion
whether or not a rehearing of the cases J
shall be granted. This unexpected ex
planation of the court's order shows
that what it intended to state in its am
biguous announcement was that it had
granted the petition for a rehearing,
and, if the bench was full on that date
named, would reopen the case on May
U. This order of the court, it is said,
was drawn hastily and it was not no
ticed at the time that it was ambiguous
and apparently justified the conclusion
that the court had decided simply to
hear arguments on the question of
granting a rehearing.
The explanation now given unoffici
ally at the court of the meaning of its
order indicates a nrobability that before
final adjournment of tho court for the
present term a final determination of
the full court ou the mooted income tax
question may be expected.
Lord Sholto Douglass Seeking Redress.
San Francisco, April 28. Lord
Sholto Douglass, son of the Marquis of
Queensbury, arrived hero from Bakers
field, avowedly to consult the British
consul over means of redress for his
grievance on account of his arrest for
insanity. He declined to be interviewed
and avoided the principal hotels, taking
refuge with friends in Oakland.
Galena Celebrates Grant's Birthday.
Galena, Ills., April 28. Galena paid
homage today to the memory of her
great soldier-citizen, Grant. The city
was in gala attire. Flags floated from
all public bnildiugs, and every private
house and business block was decorated
in flags and bunting. Hon. Henry D.
Estabrook of Omaha delivered the ora
tion of the day.
Thirteen Miners Killed.
Edinbukg, April 23. Au explosion
occurred in a coal pit at Denny, near
Sterling, about 30 miles from this place.
There were 177 men in the pit at the
time of the accident. Thirteen of them
were killed.
DEATH LIST PROWS LARGER.
Later Reports More Than Confirm the First
Xeu'ft of the Flood at Bousey.
Episal, France. April So. The list
of the fatalities caused by the breaking
of the great Bousey dyke in the Vorgea,
increases every hour. One hundred aud
fifteen deaths have already been re
ported, but only 50 bodies have been
recovered. It is believed the death list
will be greatly in excess of the figures
above given when all the districts are
heard from.
It is supposed many of the dead were
swept into isolated places where it will
be a long time before the bodies are
found. The region over which the
tons of water swept in a resistless flood
is strewn with every sort of wreckage,
and the whole country presents a most
desolate appearance. In many places
the early crops were swept clean out of
the ground and the losses thus incurred
will be very heavy.
Six brigades of gen d'armes have been
detailed to act as guards. Every at
tempt is being made to reorganize the
district, but this is rendered difficult by
the waters. The Aviere, a small stream,
is now in some places a mile and a half
wide. The railway in the vicinity of
the Darniulles station was torn up.
BRIDGE CASE TAKEN UP.
Interstate Commerce Commission Begins
Hearing Cliarges.
Omaha, May 1. The interstate com
merce commission today began Tieariug
the charges of discrimination in freight
rates preferred by the Omaha Commer
cial club. All the commissioners, ex
cept Judge Yeomans, were present at
the opening cf the case. The charge
was made that the rates made by the
roads across the bridge discriminated
against Omaha in favor of Council
Bluffs. The roads, in conjunction with
Council Bluffs business men, filed a pe
tition in intervention, reciting at length
their side of the case.
After listening to the reading of the
document, the commission took a recess.
A decision of the matter may be expect
ed in perhaps two or three mouths.
MONTREAL FACTORY FIRE.
One Girl M Using, One Dead and Two Oth
ers Will Die.
Montreal, April 27. IdaFortin, one
of the victims of last night's tobacco
factory fire, is dead. One of the most
serious cases which has been received at
the hospital is that of Alphonsin Thi
beadeau, who is 2G years old. She was
hurt internally by jumping from the
window, and has also broken her back.
She is dying. Pat Cronin, fireman, had
his arm badly cut, and John Cousineau
had his back hurt. RosannaBeauchamp
is fatally injured. It is rumored that one
girl, Marie Frambois, is missing. The
total loss is now estimated at 500,000.
Disturbance In Passenger Rates.
CnicvGO, May 1. The disturbance
in passenger rates caused by the home
seekers' excursions to be run by all the
western roads on April 30, May 21 and
June 11 is steadily increasing. The St.
Louis lines have now announced their
intention of applying the rates locally
and on the dates named they will sell
tickets from St. Louis at the following
round trip rates: Kansas City, $9;
Leavenworth, 9.50; Atchison and St.
Joseph, $10; Omaha and Council Bluffs,
12.75. The St. Louis lines have
strongly advised the Chicago roads to
follow their example and they will with
out doubt follow the advice given.
Aged Coupla Lose Their Lives.
Crookston, Minn., May 1. The
residence of George Dennistohon Maple
Lake was destroyed by fire and his
aged parents lost their lives. The old
couple were sleeping upstairs. Mrs.
Denniston, Sr., came down and woke
the family, who escaped. She then
-went back to assist her husband, who
was blind. The roof fell in, burying
both in the ruins.
Cat Ib Wage Caases a Strike.
Atlanta, Ga.t May 1. Two hun
dred employes of the Athens cotton
mills struck on account of a 10 per cent
cut in wages and an order to pay half
cash and the balance in tickets. This
will force out 125 hands at the upper
l nulls also.

Ono an a Tariff Reformer."
Tho feeling of "tariff reform" is kept
alivo by such stimulation as that of The
Democrat of Bakersfield, CaL, which, in
an editorial article, attacks the Twine
trust, explaining that "under the great
and glorious McKinley law" it pays
dividends on a nominal capital of f30,
000,000, watered up from $7,000,000.
As this refers to the National Cordage
company, which failed, went into a re
ceiver's hands and has been reorganized,
the "dividend" feature is a joke. Some
moro interesting news is obtained from
the same source to wit: "It costs the
Twine trust 4 cents a pound to manu
facture twine, which it sells for 14, 15
and 16 cents per pound." This state
ment was made'iu the samo mouth that
the McCormick Harvesting Machine
company sold sisal twine to farmers in
Minnesota for 6j cents a pound.
